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.

The general feeling is there was a lot of talk about power even in 2013. This is why MS addressed it with X1X in a big way.

Regardless if people were saying teraflop or resolution, many knew there was a power disparity and it was sometimes exaggerated.
