AMD is in Wii U, PS4 and the 720. Expect a huge turn.

Console revenues are small because they only recieve a per-unit royalty and don't get the margin on manufacturing or card assembly. Even if that wasn't true, graphics are the smallest business of AMD.


250 million consoles tops within a 5-8 year period. Yeah....they'll make their money.

NVidia made ~500 million on 50 Million PS3's

So if we assume AMD got the same deal... (unlikely considering how desperate they are).... 250 million consoles is a 2.5 billion over an 5-8 year period.... or back to 500 Million a year at your high estimation.  

While that'd be a pretty good bump... it's only pretty good... and that's if we're using your rosiest predictions of a maxium of 250 consoles over the course of 5 years...

and ignoring the fact that AMD probably got a worse deal.
