It's not called the console wars for nothing.
But Sony wouldn't really be advantaged much by having a way more powerful unit than MS. But if they think MS thinks the PS4 only goes to 8 and MS goes to 10 then Sony ends up going to 11 (and the Wii U is a 7), then Sony "wins" the power race, but not by so much that it's a pain in the arse to put multiplats on all 3 nexgen consoles, and like this gen it'll only be the exclusives that show off that extra point of power.
Not sure where a mid-spec'd PC sits though, 15?
