last gen xbox was dragged through mud due to the power differences (together with higher price tag) and rightfully so. i was having similar arguments with MS fanboys that were arguing this same points, trying to defend the indefensible. it would be very hypocritical to turn around now and say that 30'ish % power difference is negligible. it's just not, it's very significant, even more so when both will share a 90+% similar library of games, meaning all those games are running objectively better on one platform over the other.

i'm very partial to sony's 1st party, care zero so far about any xbox exclusives, so i probably will still pick the ps5 as my main console. this doesn't mean i won't admit what's absolutely obvious IF these specs will be real.

i'm very confident they aren't still, so won't preemptively defend them like some are doing 

You are free to argue if PS5 sit at 7 teraflop while Xbox X at 12, that will be at 40 to 45 percentage difference and that is huge. The reality is if the rumor is true and they are choosing to use the above spec then PS5 is at 9.2 while Xbox is 12 the the difference is just 30%. PS5 posible will have cheaper price than Xbox X (that's a given due to APU size ) . 

Of course we will see a difference but using the number i mentioned above i don't see a big problem especially when PS5 will be price cheaper. Maybe for some , but not all people care. 

I  want PS5 spec and power close to Xbox X spec, (my ideal is close at 10%). But  I am ready to accept anything on reasonable price. For sure we still don't know what the real spec is, others suggest this info was old info from 2017 and some said it's an old info from 2018.  Regardless of that, we don't know anything until Sony unveil and Mark Cerny explain on the stage.   

that's fine, I think it's as close to common ground we will find. I still find anything above 10% pretty meaningful, but that's me personally.

the leaks are so suspicious, i still don't see how MS will go with 50+ CUs and keep the price  at all under control. fingers crossed we can see 2 skus since day one, i don't mind paying a premium for a premium :)
