155 - 90 = 65

90 - 50 = 40

Well, i wonder, which side dropped more. I think you already knew.

You are welcome.

Not PS as PS4 is going to end with 120-130 million lmao

As for your point, its completely meaningless. Its not about the size of the gap but the bottom number: Xbox at 50 million and even with your spin by ignoring PS4, PS3 is at 90 million.

It's just simple math... It's using the Pixels Per Degree formula which accounts for resolution, size and distance.
It's what Apple would use for it's "retina" display branding... And obviously can be scaled up from there.

Sony cannot guarantee anything, they have sold any consoles yet.
Sony has also had multiple consoles sell less than 100+ million lifetime... Such as the Playstation 3, Playstation Vita, Playstation Portable.

The PC minimizes the financial risk to Microsoft's game division.

Sony hasn't even revealed their console yet, let alone sold a single unit... It could be a giant cock-up and a catastrophic flop with a plethora of anti-consumer stances that draws ire from the entire industry. (Unlikely, but companies make mistakes! Ask Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega etc'.)

Just don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched.

Does not work like that I am afraid.

Microsoft and Sony pay AMD a 'Lump Sum' for the chip design, R&D and other work. - They then pay licensing fees on a regular basis after the fact.

From there... Sony and Microsoft will pay for chips in "batches" fro various foundries. - They don't forward project 100~ million units, that would be business suicide... And especially as the chips themselves will undergo multiple revisions/respins in order to resolve eratas and so forth, plus die-shrinks on top of it.
Microsoft and Sony will *never* order 100~ million of the same chip because they will never sell 100~ million of the same chip, even the Playstation 2 with 150~ million consoles sold, did NOT sell 150~ million of the same chip.

Take the Nintendo Switch as another example, the new Switch consoles don't use the same chip as the launch console, it's an entirely new variant with entirely new manufacturing and licensing agreements in place.

So before you demand people to "start reading" it does help if the information you provide actually has any factual basis to start with.

Obviously they aren't going to forward project 100 million. However what they will project is higher yearly console sales, which again goes to the general rule of larger volumes reducing average price. 

Not to forget the lowest PS ever sinked was still more than what Xbox ever achieved.
