Exactly.  Mocking others who said they could tell the difference between 720p/900p and 1080p.  The fact is they are the hypocrites, as I have yet to see any PS gamer say that power doesn't matter, like they all claim.  Nope, I see them saying power is great, but it isn't the only thing that matters.  But, it seems many Xbox fans are quick to flip flop on the power thing.  First, it mattered when the PS3 had worse multiplats.  Then, it didn't matter when PS4 had better ones.  Now, it matters again once the Scorpio comes out.  I take it it won't matter in 2019/2020 when the PS5 comes out and and is 2x-3x the GPU power of the Scorpio, but with a much better CPU and RAM.

To me, the Scorpio is shaping up to be the OG Xbox.  A nice piece of HW, but with half the support of the PS2, it failed to sell very well.  And just like the OG Xbox, I expect MS to abandon it really quickly if they are going to take another stab at console HW, since they are going to have to answer Sony's PS5 in less than a year of its launch if they don't want them to run away with the market, again.

Dude, flip flopping happens on both sides. Power is suddenly less important to Sony fans while they eagerly await PS5 to take the power advantage.

The major hole is your argument is X1/Scropio already have great support that OG Xbox lacked. Japanese software has also become less relevant since the 6th gen.

I don't think PS5 will be as powerful as you anticipate. Especially if its gonna be $399. PS4 Pro was 3 years later and was a relatively minor upgrade. I would be impressed if PS5 is 2x the power of Scorpio, but my expectations are kinda low.
