There is no way this is true, like at all

1 - There is no reason for a 300 dollar price point, consumers are more than willing to pay minimum 400 for next gen

2 - 4 Teraflops Is way below the current generation xbox X, even below the ps4 pro, that wont happen

3 - Microsoft will not risk the bad marketing and the jokes again this generation, launching a new gen console weaker than the current gen

4 - Microsoft will not risk launching a base console way weaker than ps5 base console, they cant afford it as they don't have the exclusives to swing them, unless they are trying for a reason to get out of the console market, possible

5 - If this is true then Ill definitely wait a couple years before I buy into Xbox again, because the future is too uncertain, unlike the ps5 which is guarantee huge success and many exclusives for at least 7 years.

1. There is a big reason. If PS5 is $450 as rumored, they can undercut them by $150 and have a cheap option available for budget conscious gamers right from the start of the gen. Sure it will be quite a bit less powerful than PS5 and XSX, but some people care more about saving money than they care about having the best graphics. Just look at how the Xbox One S All-Digital edition at $150 was one of the best selling console SKU's on Black Friday week last year. 

2. You're placing too much emphasis on flops. Supposedly 4 tflops on RDNA 2 is a good bit more powerful than 6 tflops on GCN, the GPU architecture that XB1 X and PS4 Pro used. Also, this system won't be aiming for 4K like XB1 X did, supposedly the target is 1080p-1440p on next gen games that will be 4K on XSX and PS5. 

3. See #2.

4. I don't see how having a cheaper console option than Sony hurts them at all against PS5, lol. 

5. That's your prerogative. 

If ps5 base console is 450dollars, it would be at least 9 teraflops, xbox would be a laughing joke if it is less than half the graphical power, people would just joke that it isn't even next gen while ps5 is the true next gen. Not to mention there wont even be exclusives on xbox for 2 years. No one would buy it. And a console without a disc drive? See how well the xbox one S all digital did? It didn't sell much at all. Most people would rather pay a bit more and get the option of disc drive.

Im not complaining about 4tf against the xbox X, Im looking how it compared to the competition next generation.
