Can AMD Help Microsoft Beat Sony PS5's Scorching Sales?
Sony's (NYSE: SONY) PlayStation 5 console is winning the sales battle against Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Xbox Series X. But that isn't surprising. Sony's huge installed user base and an impressive catalog of exclusive gaming titles were supposed to tip the scales in the PS5's favor despite Microsoft's attempts to seize the initiative this time with a more powerful console, at least on paper.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is making merry while all of this is happening. The chipmaker's semi-custom processors power both consoles, making it one of the best ways to take advantage of the booming sales of these devices. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business has taken off big time since the new consoles went into production last year. It now seems that AMD is about to add extra firepower to the EESC business with its latest move, one which may also help Microsoft in its fight against Sony in the latest console war.
