xenocideWell I don't think AMD because IBM has done a fantastic job with console CPU's, and AMD just doesn't have the capacity for it. Microsoft is gonna want a company that they know can deliver the amount of CPU's when they ask, IBM or Intel most likely. I personally would love to see a game console that ran an x86 CPU rather than a PowerPC setup, would make ports suck less.

Mega-JapanThat statement is so wrong I'm not sure where to begin.
Initial retail prices for console games have ranged somewhere between $39.99 and $59.99 since the NES days. With $50 being the typical medium. Games were on the $50 medium throughout the 5th and 6th gen, increasing $10 for the 7th gen, but only for 360 and PS3. But according to you, the average game should now cost about $100 a pop.
