Points to remember.Did you ever do that with previous consoles? Did you look at PS4 and compare it to 680 GTXs and 780 GTXs? Did you consider PS3's ~240 GFLops GPU in relation to the GTX 8800 that launched in the same time-frame? When PS4 launched, November 2013, it had 1.8 TF. In the same month, the 780 Ti launched with 5 TF. PS4 wasn't even half the power of the top end (not even elite end!). If GPUs are hitting 18 TFs end of this year, 9 TFs would be half, which is perfectly in keeping with previous generations AFAICS.
We have to look at the past to see what's going happen.
Consoles can't be so costly so companies MUST shrank specs to reasonable limits. If MS is at 12 TF and Sony at 9 that MS Console is going be relatively expensiver than Sony's one and that can be a problem for sales... depend on how much more expensive. I think distance in price should be imperatively less than 100 dollars....
