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.

Well, look at the launch of the current gen. Xbox One sold well! Really well! It was the 3rd highest launch ever at the time (if memory serves) in spite of them absolutely butchering their reveal and Sony's more capable, cheaper machine and all the good will in the world.

They could have killed a puppy live on YouTube and would have been applauded. In spite of this, ps4 didn't double xbox during the launch window.

Sony isn't going to have that luxury next generation. While they're very likely to sell more next generation, it isn't written in stone. AMD would be fools to back one horse over the other when they already have both in their pocket.
