Nevermind its already been done:

You've just summoned Pemalite with that image. Brace for impact.

That being said, I'll already come out and tell you FLOPS is a poor way of comparing graphics hardware, especially across multiple architectures spanning decades, some of which did raster in a completely different way (PS2, DS and earlier).

I admit you cant compare flops. But in this case and judging from everyones opinion and my own so far in this thread. That chart got it right.

Its pretty much how i would place the consoles on power levels.

The thing with FLOPS is that it's theoretical peak performance, not necessarily real world performance in actual games, as it doesn't take into account every component and bottleneck in the hardware.

Xbox Series S and PS4 Pro may have similar FLOPS with a slight lead for the Pro, but the Series S has a much stronger CPU and an SSD so it's more capable overall.

Not really. on paper it looks better but on paper never tells the whole story. ps5 has a few advantages like The PS5's rasterization performance that makes them about equal.  

Xbox Series X has better rasterization performance, thanks to 20% higher integer and floating point performance.
Combine that with higher pixel, texel, geometry, texture fillrate and higher memory bandwidth... It's a no brainer that the Series X has the edge.

So what you have stated is blatantly false.

The only real advantage the Playstation 5 has is SSD performance.

But honestly, the performance delta is pretty much irrelevant between the two, most games push for parity anyway.

From what I recall the PS5 has a few GPU advantages due to being clocked 20% higher. 

Most of those advantages are probably meaningless in practice. XSX still has the more meaningful advantages.

SNES should be number 1

That chart is off as well; Switch is 393 GFLOPS in docked mode and depending on the clock speed used (it's up to the dev to choose) between 157 and 236 GFLOPS in portable mode.

If FLOPS were the be-all end-all, that would mean Switch in portable mode even at max clocks is weaker than the Xbox 360, yet that's evidently not the case as Switch in portable mode runs many 7th gen titles at higher settings than the 360, plus games beyond the reach of 360 like Witcher 3, Dying Light, Bright Memory Infinite, Hellblade, Doom Eternal, etc.
