I know. I'm more talking about folks interpreting Sweeney's comments as PS5 being stronger than XSX or a top end PC due to SSD secret sauce, and that we should bear in mind when when people are trying to sell us on something they will obviously highlight its best aspects above all.

Those opinions are mainly fruitless because it just exposes everyone's stake in it. Very much like the meaningless teraflop debates. The PS5 is the weaker overall device, no denying it, cleaning it, what have you, BUT, it will still be able to handle tasks in ways that the XSX will not. No denying that either. 

I get why some are look too far into from both directions, but the hardware is the hardware. No different than when a 1080Ti wins a few points over a TITAN X in a benchmark here or there. Those very rare instances will never remove the latter's very real superiority (and those two devices are even further apart in power than the two upcoming consoles).

Pretty much, yeah. I'm sure the debate will rage on for years to come; might even get interesting when we have actual games to go on. Now we've seen what PS5 can do the ball is really in Microsoft's court to show a similarly impressive example of what XSX can do.
