With PS5 tech info coming tomorrow and yesterday's complete info on Series X, we will probably know which next gen console will end up being more powerful. I've decided to make a final prediction thread, so feel free to bet on whatever console you think will end up being more powerful. 

I personally think that Xbox will win in terms of raw GPU and CPU power, but PS5 will have better memory and storage solution.

The bets will be closed tomorrow when Playstation event starts.

Edit: VGC doesn't allow to close bets at certain time, so the bets will close on March 19.

It's pretty much already confirmed that the Playstation 5 will have a faster Solid State Drive. (At-least interface wise, real world performance can vary greatly.)

Power? Surely the xbox series X, ps5 might have a pro model that reaches almost that power, but its all irrelevant, even 8TF with the next architecture would be more than enough, we are reaching a point of diminishing returns, even the xbox X and ps4 pro have enough power for most people if games were optimized for those consoles.

FLOPS just aren't an issue next-gen, integer and FP16 will be taking a larger front-and-center role thanks to Machine Learning and Ray Tracing requirements rather than Single Precision Floating Point (GFLOP and TFLOP).

Geometry, Fillrate capabilities are also increasing substantially.

1800p resolution is already overkill, no one needs 4K on less than 100inch screen, unless you're playing on PC which people tend to play closer to the screen. And current consoles could do easily 60fps if games were optimized for it.

Absolute rubbish.

Resolution and pixel density is determined by a range of factors like visual acuity of the individual (Eyesight for example can exceed 20/20), display size and how far away an individual is distanced from the display.

Plus higher resolutions does tend to resolve micro details in various assets better as well.

This is a rough guide, note: It does not take into account visual acuity of the individual, so there is some additional variance not accounted for.

Sony should announce as late as possible, to make the hype fresher closer to release date. Sony should not even advertise power, just advertise the new exclusives and its a win, as long as its at least 3x more powerful than ps4 slim, people will be more than happy.

Sony will do what is best for Sony, they know what they are doing.
They will likely champion their storage subsystem capabilities above all else I think.
