ATi sees $18m contract pre-payment. Is this Xbox Next?
Mystery payment points towards MS production run
ATi, in reporting its latest round of financials, has stated that it has taken an $18 million pre-payment for an undisclosed project we can reveal today.
Gama Network reports that ATi has taken receipt of the cash as a "deferred revenue associated with an unannounced contract," seemingly underlining a contract with a hardware manufacturer.
However, this could just as easily be a research and development advance from Nintendo for it's next machine as a binding agreement with Microsoft for Xbox 2.
As ever, all companies involved are re-mortaring their impenetrable walls of silence, meaning that getting concrete confirmation of the payment details is proving impossible.
We'll keep chipping away, and let you know as soon as we find anything out.
