Well, the question I ask myself is: Why should I pay more for a console with less power?
We'll have to see about the differences, but I think they should be quite noticable, because both consoles use the exact same architecture. That way developers can profit from the PS4 Power without the need to rewrite the whole code. There's no cell or anything like that.
In the end, Sony just made some pretty good hardware at a reasonable price. I don't see why you wanna downplay that simple fact. It's not like the Xbox is shitty because of that. But hardware-wise, the PS4 is better. It's a simple fact and has nothing to do with personal opinion. That comes into play when it's about the games. But the console itself? It's considerably faster on paper, more advanced (dat GDDR5!), smaller, no power brick... The only reason not to say "well done, Sony" is if you want to make the XBox look better. The XBox is also a good console, but it's just not as good as the PS4 from a hardware perspective. You gotta know yourself if that is important to you or not. To me, it is. But that's just me.
