Fascinating read.

It's funny to me that IBM - a company not known to promote fun and games - ended up providing the processors that powered the PS3, XBox360, and I think the GameCube and Wii, too.

Thank you very much for the deep dive, I imagine the research must have been exhausting (but also rewarding, I hope!).

IBM was the real winner of the seventh generation console war.

Though by not as much of a dramatic margin (Nintendo stayed with IBM for the Wii U and Nvidia for the Switch), one could say AMD won the eighth- and ninth-gen console wars in a similar fashion.
