All those things are what would appeal to gamers. The reality is "gamers" make up a small portion of people playing video games and the truth is the majority don't give a shyt about Xcloud, tflops, or anything Eurogamer has to say.
"Which box is cheaper, where are my friends" are the only things that matter for cases to be made. It took Sony fukking up royally with the PS3 for the tide to turn to Xbox and it took MS fukking up to swing things back.
If all else is equal, status quo remains. Meaning most PS4 owners are buying PS5 and Sony will have the numbers game for another gen. This only changes if Microsoft has a box positioned lower than Sony can get to. Free online is a decent perk but why care if the PS5 is still cheaper than any Xbox, the perk is voided. Besides history has shown what one does the other follows, just like we started paying for online in the first place after it was free.
Price, friends. That's all that matters and until MS can change consumer behavior like they negatively did with Xbox One, nothing else they have going for them matters.
