Its about as powerful now no?
As said every new launch
The gaming scene seems to have changed over the years. You get the enthusiasts who are obsessed with frames and resolution and want the best possible performance but that market seems to be shrinking just look at the switch and mobile markets the vast majority don’t care about that.
No. The gaming scene hasn't changed. If you think we weren't arguing in the 90's about the speed of the snes cpu vs the genesis one, then you are mistaken. Just like arguing over exclusives, just like arguing over bullshit new standards like "terraflops"
The only thing that has changed are the buzzwords. The real sad thing is that even with the internet and the ability to learn for ourselves, people still accept the same old nonsense dressed up as shiney new nonsense.
For example...60hz...I mean, can anyone tell me the correlation with that and the PAL TV standard that caused so much controversy with the Snes? And why people still don't get the difference between hz and fps? And yet here we are 28 years later, same standard being misunderstood and people just accepting it.

In the end, it's always been about the games for the gamers. It always should be about the games. That has never changed, the only thing changing is how we absorb them, how we interact with them, how we buy them. Funny thing is, for the last good few years plenty have spoken about the death of consoles and all that, yet here we are with 4 at launch, and at least 7 total before the generation plays out
