Teraflops are NOT a Measurement of Gaming Performance

Most of that was addressed by launch, I don't think Kinect was even required but still bundled at launch and removed months later.

What didn't change was discussion about the GPU disparity. Either way, I just think its funny the OP cherry picked X1X as where teraflop numbers became a topic. Obviously it started years before with the 8th gen specs.

Well, the price difference was the biggest problem, and that stayed for a few months if I remember correctly.

I agree though that power stayed a relevant topic for a long time. But I still think that wasn't the biggest factor that led to PS dominating the whole gen. That's something only people on the web care about. It's still true, however, that MS has been focusing on power and tflops much more than Sony in the last few years. Looking at PS exlcusives for 2020 and how good they look vs what xbox one x is getting...well, I can't help but wonder if all this focus on tflops really means anything. And looking at xbox one x sales, I really thing that power is one of the least important characteristics, provided the gap is not too big.

You're turning this into a bigger console war debate than I am looking for. I will not entertain that, countless other threads have been dedicated or derailed for that.

Just pointing out the OP cherry picked X1X's 6TF, when it really started around 2013 and it was for PS4 boasting. Most know this as reality.

MS has put a focus both on price and power. Hence, X1SAD and X1X. Now we seemingly will get Series S and Series X.
