The connection of each of these games with a corresponding video chip designer has more to do with business and politics than it does with said video chips actually running the game better. Beyond that, it is important to understand the difference between various cards in the same series and how that difference changes the equation against the competing brand.
More on the original topic, I will probably end up getting Doom 3 at some point or another. I am not necessarily in a rush to pay top dollar for it, especially since I know it will push my computer to the limits (and quite possibly, way beyond the limits). As for these games being ported to consoles, are you serious? Trying to play Doom with a console controller sounds like some form of cruel and unusual punishment to me. I tried to play a first-person snowboarding game on a Playstation 2, and I could barely make the guy go down the hill.
