I dont know, i mean if you look at PS2/Wii specs really didn't matter to gamers... *BUT* they also had a massive difference either in cost or terms of games compared to their competitors.
Specs I think matter more to people (initial buyers) when you have two machines that will have mostly the same 3rd party games. It's one of the differentiators - of course we have first party games as well obviously, but its one of the things people think about. Especially when people hear about machines being not very powerful and more expensive (wii-u).
I think over time the Specs issue will become less of an issue as price comes down, but initially its a bigger issue than he is making out.
