If you like having the least powerful console of the next generation, I guess it would be worth your money [ignoring Nintendo and whatever new machine they come up with - which seems to be a “Pro” version of the Switch]

Hey, we won’t judge you… but people might treat you like a mentally handicapped kid, so try and not be too offended

Xbox will be more powerful. SONY is trying to put it in certain a perspective, but Xbox will have more horsepower.

On the other side it seems that SONY invested more in the side specs and futures like superb SSD, sound and controller. I think that it’s those additional futures that can push PS5 price more then they would like to.
 
Time will tell who’s hardware approach was better.

But there is no better console, there are better games, or games that are better for you. In reality both consoles will kick azz and produce superb graphics.

CONCLUSION BELOW!!!!

***Think about which games you want to play and not about teraflops or bandwiches!!!***
