Of course Sony wouldn't pay upfront. There would be an agreement in place though. There's no way it's stretching far enough into the generation to make a considerable difference. Pemalite believes that the revisions are already being prepared. (tbh, I've got no idea either way) If true, a long term contract would make even less sense.
Of course Ms pr said that the xbox one was equally as powerful as the ps4. It's their job. I already said in another post that Sony delivered a solid machine.
With all the TV, TV and TV app talk at the reveal along with Kinect it's clear as the ocean is blue (intended) that they tried to recapture the casual audience.
Manufacturing split across 2 sku's though? Yeah, I got nothing to counter that. I simply am not informed enough. That's a good point I hadn't considered.

PR can't lie.
There is an agreement in place, that is exactly what makes the cost difference between Sony and MS. If you have a contract with a cadence of let's say 10M first year, then 18M for the next 4 years, then 10M again it certainly would have price difference against 5, 9, 5. Even if you say "but they wouldn't have a 5 year contract with quantities, we could go for Sony have a deal for 30M boxes on next 20 months, while MS have 15M there would have difference in the price sold.

There's no chance that many are being ordered though. 15 million? Sure. 30? No chance. Manufacturing and even potentially retail prices would come down before 30 million consoles would be out on the wild.
Then there's a chance of a revision or upgrade before 30 million also.
