The cynic in me says this is a direct response to the fact that it's already accepted that the PS4 has better hardware specs post official XB1 reveal.
Personally, I don't think the differences should matter to anyone but the most ridiculous of spec hounds who buy their goods based solely on numbers alone, but again, this could be a damage control issue for MS for not releasing "the best" hardware this round.
On a related note, Sony acquired Gaikai last year, meaning they should already have working/functional infrastructure in place for cloud based gaming today.
