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.

I never argued a timed contract of 2 years. I argued 30 million. If MS orders 15, which is likely, Sony wouldn't order 30 because of reasons I've already stated though not directly responded too. Call my number arbitrary all you like. We know nothing about anything. Rumours are simply.... Rumours. This whole discussion is arbitrary.

"Also why would the contract establish a specific design instead of quantities of the chip powering PS5 and revisions along the line?"

Because signing off on a product that isn't even finished R&D yet is... Stupid. Even if they're involved in the process. No crystal balls are involved.


Do I think they're going to change to nVidia? Why even ask a question like that? Throwing some bait out? Idk... Anyway... I'm not the most informed on the topic but even I know such a drastic change in hardware would end them.

For what reason would the order from Sony not be about double of MS when they sell about double?

So since you know they won't change supplier they can have an agreement signed with volumes even if the specifics of the HW isn't defined and immutable.
