It´s just silly to think that people will base their choise in hardware comparison alone. With many people, games will be the most important factor of choise. Other factor will be friends in the network (this factor is huge compared to last gen). So no mater how many teraflops or bandwith, Sony is having the edge by far, at least if we consider sales worldwide. Maybe in USA things are more even. Also if the hardware difference is 4k with 8 Teraflops compared to 4k with 12 teraflops, It won´t be enough to win if you don´t have a good library of games. Xbox ONE X has 6 teraflops against 4.2, and still, 2013 machines with 1.84 and 1.4 are selling more units. I only hope, for a personal taste in quality graphics and fps, that the PS5 has more than 10 Teraflops with enough bandwith.

I totally agree - there are many influences at play when someone is choosing a new console. Hardware is but one. I just don't get this opinion of some that MS giving the consumer meaningful options within their skus is a bad thing. MS need to differentiate themselves and a value-sku would be one way to do that. Their great value subscription model is another. Output from a host of newly acquired studios is another. Will it be enough to improve on their showing this gen - they're giving themselves a good chance!
