Both X720 and PS4 having similar CPUs will make this upcoming generation interesting.

Both X360 and PS3 has silmilar CPUs

Xenon is a CPU used in the Xbox 360 game console. The processor, is based on IBM PowerPC instruction set architecture, consisting of three independent processor cores on a single die. These cores are slightly modified versions of the PPE in the Cell processor used on the PlayStation 3.

The PS3's CELL processor is very different to the xbox 360

Its why a lot of developers had trouble/hated making ports for the PS3
