Because Sony never puts out a comparitivly weak console.
the only reason MS might is the complete shift in focus from gamers for gamers to kinect/family.  every rumor/estimate/leak about both companies console is indicating that they will be a large leap in graphical capabilities, yes they are all rumors but if you look at history almost every console infor was leaked somewhere on the internet, so one of the rumors are most likely true

also MS and Sony know that if they hold back graphic wise they will lose more competition to PC, which Sony definitly doesn't want, and MS wants to stop as well.

it's common sense, I Will never understand why this forum is so fanboyish.

I agree to this to some degree, but both companies know they will never compete directly to the PC (unless they make a $1000 machine) and most people aren't willing to spent that much money into a gaming console (specially the casuals), as long as either of both companies makes the "most powerful console", they will attract those people, kinda like the PS3 this gen which some people bought just because it was the most powerful of the 3, some of them not even interested in Sony's exclusives.
