Having a relationship with hardware manufacturers for AAA releases is pretty much a given. I guarantee somebody talked to Nvidia at some point, too.
The whole "partnership" thing is mostly a marketing deal thing. They sure went above and beyond with the behind the scenes video, and hey, maybe they DID bring over some of the relationship to the PC to make it get solid driver support and hardware-specific tweaks on the game side and it WILL punch above its weight on AMD GPUs.
But as a statement I stick by my read of it being rather pointless and likely entirely marketing-driven.
