Would you view "up by one time" to actually mean a doubling then? By deductive reasoning you should, but that yields zero results on search engines. One times five is five, not six, after all. Up 'to' makes sense only if there's a confidence interval. |
Yes I would. For example if a console sold 100,000 then five times equals 500,000 so "up by five times" should be equivalent to "up by 500,000". Resulting in 600,000.
Increased to 5 times = increased to 500,000 Increased by 5 times = increased by 500,000
