People tend to forget Sony/MS will be buying components in the millions of units from the get go. If I buy 3 of something in the market I can already get a discount. Imagine if I buy 5 milion units at once and the vendor knows I may be needing to buy up to 100M in the next five years? Sony and MS probably gets massive amounts of discount on anything they put in their consoles, specially Sony as the PS consoles are basically guaranteed to go around 100M units made. |
Massive discounts still don't erase the bast cost to even make a product. High end processors don't have that much wiggle room in cost. Especially with demand and supply shortages due to foundries being full, etc. You'll get a discount, but it stops scaling at a point. Especially when it comes to the GPU tech proposed.
