you can say 157% "more" or "additional", but if your doing totals its 257%.
10,3 divided by 4 = 2,575 = 257,5%.
"Also worth noting that PS5 isn’t 10.3 tflop all the time due to its variable clock rate, can potentially fall below that."
Yes but cerny said they planned for the variable clock rate to only drop like 2-5%. So while its true, its not always 10,3 Tflops, its always pretty close to that. People are basically makeing a mountain out of a molehill about the variable clock rates.
"then disc drive PS5 may be a loss at $500 as well, which makes $400 for digital PS5 even more unlikely."
Sony will eat a loss at 400$ on selling the digitial version, but make it back with game sales.
Microsoft is probably eating a small loss at 299$ for the xbox series S too.
However higher returns on digital sales, will make up for it, in the long run.
"And of course, even if Sony does hit $400 on digital PS5 and Series S doesn’t sell as well as MS wanted as a result, they can always drop it to $250 early next year to boost it’s sales."
Yep, depends on how much each are willing to lose on each unit sale.

That’s not how percentages work though. You’re thinking of multiples. PS5 has 2.5x more GPU power. Percentages would be:
Series S = 4 tflop
50% more powerful = 6 tflop
100% more powerful = 8 tflop
157% more powerful = 10.3 tflop

You get a cookie for being right.
Now carefully read my text again:
"Would you pay 100$ more (33% increase) for 257% performance?"
Where do you see "more" in my text (when mentioning performance)?
The only "more" in my text, was in the price reguards.
Basically your argueing over nothing.
Because I didnt formulate it as "more powerfull", but instead as a whole of the systems (where writeing 257% is correct).
Basically you are argueing over this:
4tf + 157% of 4TF (6,3) = 10,3
While Im saying:
4tf x 2,57 = 10,3
Both are true, its just a matter of wording.
Also I did use the right way. You probably miss read it at first, and wanted to correct me.
