chipATI and Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), makers of chips for game consoles including Xbox 360 and Wii, disclosed that orders are picking up. This according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

Based on the report ATI, which supplies the graphics chip for Nintendo's the Wii, was said to have achieved a 5% growth in the sales of its consumer electronic chips. Meanwhile, Pixart Imaging which supplies the Wii remote sensor chipset, reportedly said its chip shipments may reach a million units in August.


SiS, the southbridge chip supplier for the Xbox 360, is also cited in Commercial Times report as saying that orders for their product started picking up from July. This could mean Nintendo is gearing up for an all-out Next-Gen Console War and MS isn't going to roll over and play dead!

I thought Microsoft and Nintendo were gonna team up against Sony... What with that guy saying you could buy both a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3...

Now in the latest game informer, a microsoft PR guy is quoted as saying "people will take that money (that they would buy a PS3 with) and buy a 360 and a wii." so it is a war, with Microsoft and Nintendo on one side and Sony on the other.

Your retarted. Lmfao even if he did say that when the heck did Nintendo announce that there going to partner with Microsoft? Poor xbox360 fanboys are so threatend by the ps3 they have to make up rumors of partnerships. And since when was the WII a "next-gen" console? They even said that they weren't "next-gen"....

» wow...

a partner ship?...I don't think Moore or M$ meant a partnership...



though it seems more resonable to spend 600$ on two consoles then on one.
