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. |
Whatever quantity you arbitrarily decides for Sony would be at least double of what MS would contract, so scale cost and batch purchase would still apply. Also why would the contract establish a specific design instead of quantities of the chip powering PS5 and revisions along the line? Or do you think Sony would change from AMD to NVidia mid gen? Also contracting a cadence shipment for a 2 year timespam doesn't seem unlikely.
