There fixed it. Now everyone has a reusable template for your first question.  You asked and answered - that's impressive.

Nah mate.

The difference there is... People are buying purchasing decisions irrespective of hardware specs, games or price.

Where-as I will base my purchasing decision on hardware specs.

See the difference?

I do see the difference. People have at least a decent idea of what they are gonna get based on if they get a Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo system. So people who already have an idea of which system they want are basing it on the company's history of specs, games, price. And of course those decisions are also based on the specs, games, and price once that stuff is announced.

While you are disregarding games and price entirely, even though the whole point of buying a system is to play the games, and saying you are just gonna pick whichever is the strongest system. That is a bizarre way to decide which system you're gonna get. Power differences are pretty much meaningless these days. You either get similarly super powered Sony or Microsoft home systems that play can technically play the exact same games, or you get a less powerful but still super powered Nintendo hybrid. Games are what matter. If you love PS5 games but Xbox Series is 5% more powerful which makes zero difference are you really gonna go with Xbox because it is more powerful? If playing Nintendo games is a must each gen but the home consoles are more powerful than a portable are you really gonna ignore the system with your favorite games? It is hard to believe any gamer would make a decision blindly based on which system had the best specs.
