Thinking of the power stone I am a little confused about it. In GOTG it is stated that if Ronan touches it to the ground the entire planet (Xandar?) will be destroyed yet here is just makes Thanos a little stronger and lets him shoot some purple force power. It seems like a bit of an inconsistency.

It could be used that way, and that's how Ronin wanted to use it because he was a fundamentalist genocidal maniac. Thanos wasn't really looking to kill anyone that wasn't between him an an Infinity Stone. He wanted the stones to balance the universe, and that may have included wiping him out. If I recall there was a moment where he seemed to check himself once people started disappearing.
Also, the idea that he wasn't necessary to wipe out for the sake of balance tells you that there's still a lot of power on the side of good.
