As I said earlier, each point is part of the equation why people buy a console.
But as the power argument seems to be more or less important depending on which company has the most powerful console: I remember talking about power when I was still a kid at school. At first it was about Master System and nes, then Genesis against snes, Saturn against psx and then slowly the internet happened, making the talk even broader. News sites report about power differences, YouTube channels do it and they reach more people every day with that.
Again, if this influences the decision in the end, we don't know. But let's not pretend that only a small group knows about the difference, nor that even less care.
Power difference only counts if it is easily quantifiable and or easily qualifiable. "PSX can do transparencies" works, "SNES can do more colors" works, "SNES has better music" works, "Ps4 can do proper HD unlike the Xbox" works. "X has higher quality ambient occlusion (/more particles/less shimmering)" doesn't, Especially if those differences aren't consistent. "Blast processing" was a very artificial but somehow successful attempt to make a CPU power difference visible. "It has 64bits, that's more " wasn't.
If it's the story Neo and Scorpio will be "Scorpio can do proper 4k unlike Neo" the better hardware may pay off.
If Neo had a 100+ library of 4K titles when Scorpio launches Microsoft will have a hard time explaining people why their 4k is better than Sony's. Especially if Scorpio is more expensive.
