I believe the key isn't the hardware but the developer. The advantage that Sony has is not the hardware and it never was, its their top end AAA studios like ND, Santa Monica etc. These studios have shown that they can access a lot of the power of Sony hardware no matter what it is and its their contributions and games to the Sony console which make getting the PS4 worth the money.
The current specs between the PS4 and X1 really isn't going to separate them at all. It will be the games that are coming out from the top studios between both companies that will make the difference and separate the consoles. So right now, we do not see the proof of the PS4 perceived advantage over the X1 and I believe we will not see it until Sony AAA studios get something on the platform. I also believe that MS top studios could also surprise everyone by matching the output.
What I do know is that there are games I want on both, and I will get both because there will be exclusive to both consoles. When the dust settle only fanboys will use specs and other crap as ammunition in debates while gamers will be playing and enjoying the games both system produce.
Just for the record, I do believe that Sony has the more powerful console, I just do not care. If I wanted the most power graphics producing device I would be playing on my PC and forget the consoles. I will say this. Because there are not enough games coming out from the PS4 or X1, I have thought about putting that money into upgrading my PC.
