Teraflops are NOT a Measurement of Gaming Performance

Well...power wasn't what caused the xbox one to be mocked by all the internet though.

Tv, sports, 100$ price difference, kinect, always online and fee on used games did much more damage to the xbox brand. And then, of course, there was the power difference on top of all that.

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.

Wrong, Kinect was removed in 2016, almost 2 years after, not months.

The real teraflop talk in gaming news and with casual gamers only started with Xbox X, before that only hardcore gamers who where looking for it would know.

With the launch of the ps4 and xbox One the talk was resolution, 1080p vs 900, or 900vs 760, teraflops were very rarely talked at all.
