> Microsoft pays around $100 for every Xbox One system-on-chip to AMD
I think someone forgot to account for manufacturing costs, hence the error in the calculations. The savings will be much smaller, but I believe the real benefit will be putting Sony in a terrible situation - they'll have to pay to Microsoft for the production of the PS4 GPUs and for the next generation console, they may be left with only NVidia as an option (the article mentions other options, but currently these two are the main players, plus we never know what will happen in 5-10 years)
