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.

Sony never pushed it's 1.84Teraflops. It wasn't in major marketing promotion. And if it was it was minor, I don't recall every seeing it mentioned in any press conference but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, or you can just link me marketing material they released talking about their Teraflop performance in either their announcements or trailers.

The first time we saw teraflops being used as a focal point of marketing is with the Xbox One X. That's simply fact. It's literally the first spec they listed in their official announcement at E3. It's also in their product page on the official website https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/consoles/xbox-one-x.


It's very clear that teraflops has never been a major point of marketing as I mentioned in the OP since the Xbox One X announcement.
