? On paper “teh cell” was supposed to blow Xbox 360 out of the water. The reality was another story but I remember that narrative like it was yesterday. Sony pushed it initially but the fans keep it going for years. 

Wait Xbox fans claiming secret sauce? From my perspective I say ps guys are using SSD as secret sauce. Teraflops is just a new way of pushing the power narrative. Say what you will, but our narratives are consistent every gen. I mean Xbox One was weak, but we complained and eventually we got our X console. Og Xbox was a beast and 360 held its own. We know what we like. 

Nothing like a new generation of speculation back and forth to get the blood pumping ;)

Don't pretend you don't remember the Mr. Xcloud or something like that who used to have a blog dedicated to creating secret sauce rumor for X1. You were in VGC at the time.

SSD isn't secret sauce, it is a revealed feature.

Huh, I honestly don’t remember that. Seems like one guy rather then a online collective narrative. 
But the term “secret sauce” now is just an expression, not literal. It means “it’s expected to do more then it actually will”. Just like what cell represented.
