But there comes a time when you have to ask, "what's the point?" or "who cares?" Like I said, if each console was pumping out identical games, yet the PS4 had better hardware, who cares? The end result are the same. Even when the gap was bigger, PS4 was not pumping out games that lived up to the hype of what "experts" were claiming based on specs. If Xbox was putting out games that looked and/or performed better than those on PS4, yet PS4 still had the spec-wise better hardware, what would you be saying then? From what I can see, MS seems to be planning more for things to come. There console may be weaker, but MS looks to be prepared more for things to come, be it DX12 or the inevitability of cloud computing becoming more popular and used, they seem to have thought of these things when designing their console. Their hardware is infinitely more customized than that of Sony's, which seems to have a more "off the shelf" approach. That level of customization has to be for something. Sony seems to taken the here and now approach, producing a console that packs a punch from the start. How this will fair for them 10 yrs. from now, we'll have to see.
