I don't like that question. Those things are not equal and also not mutually exclusive. But you ask that question if they were.
That said, it's obviously powerful hardware. To quote a wise man: "A powerful console will eventually get software, a bad console will forever be bad". It's 1 year with a good but not great launch lineup vs 7 years with a bad console. Seems kinda obvious which to pick.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
