Pretty much.
In my opinion, GDDR5 or Kinect 2.0 was Microsoft's option. They go with GDDR5 and Kinect 2.0 and I believe they're increasing/decreasing costs/profits. They're banking that the non-gaming features, (Cloud) and Kinect will draw an army of casuals to encourage sales of their console more than having the 'best' looking games.
Overall, not a terrible gamble from a sales perspective, from a pure gaming perspective though I'm not impressed. The PS4 will create superior looking games most likely across the board and be the preferred console to develop for.There is a possibility that this will allow them to obtain an occassional third party exclusive down the line.
