And they will be extra salty with PS5 and Scarlet being AMD powered again and doing good sales plus having good performance for console side.

For their prospective probably while ps and xb move a lot of units, console chips have very thin margins compared to graphics cards and laptops gpus.

Mind me, I don't have anything against AMD, but PS and Xbox use their chips not because they're superior to Nividia's but only because they're chepaer.

Not only because they are cheaper. They are cheaper for that performance envelope.

And certainly the margins are thin. But it grants a stable and good revenue stream. And just on the money flow it creates a lot of leverage and gain of scale that they can use to finance other technologies and recover their position (AMD).

As console customer, knowing they won't make a 2000 USD box, I rather they get the best possible GPU under 200 USD cost and with the CPU and GPU into a single chip they gain a little more on the cost for best performance per money expend.
