If you are staring at two devices that share 90% of their game library, have similar media capabilities and are priced within reason of one another why not choose the more powerful piece of electronics? I will. |
When one is launching this year and another 12months later, power parity is not realistic.Beyond that, power is important but being the most powerful isnt important if there is barely a visible difference. Both systems are gonna be running ports of games optimised for 1-2tflop Gpus. Developers aren't going to make use of 4Tf let alone 6.
Lastly price is obviously very important and Sony might aswell go for the price advantage and early start instead of chasing after Xbox, that's not something market leaders do.
