I only hear everybody saying that the Orb is not confirmed as Power simply because Gunn said that on Twitter. Okay, first, since the start is very clear to see that the Orb is Power and the Aether is Reality. Why?

First: The Aether shifts the reality. This was the thing that lead me, since the start, to despise the discussions about it being Reality or Soul, only because it needs a host. Remember that the Dark Elvens wanted it to transform the universe back to darkness. And we only saw the Orb releasing it's purple energy that is very utile in destroying things

Second: Didn't matter if is Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp or whatever else. He didn't said several times this, and being a social network or not, he is still the movie's director and the writer, so, yes, he confirmated it as being Power, so, it's Power. If we had Power, Space and Mind, and the two missing ones are Soul and Time, the Aether is, by logic, Reality. And, if this didn't convice you:

Third: Feige confirmated it was Power during the post-production. He said that a third Infinity Stone, after the Tesseract and Aether and during the multiple discussions about the Scepter, would appear in the movie, and referred to it as being the Power Stone :)
