For someone that says specs dont matter, hes so desperate to prove that its almost equal in power.

My god, give it a break.

Im not the one giving constant press releases to prove something that he thinks is unimportant in the first place. 

He's not giving any press releases.  He's responding to questions from the gaming community.  It's the gamers that won't give it a break.  Between a number of websites and bloggers, they have basically made up a whole string of guesstimates on how everything the new consoles will do performance wise.  Because the internet never sleeps, it seeems to keep growing and even the mainstream media started going down that path.  So, he(M$) had to strart answering these questions more directly to try and debunk the information out there.

The truth is, the PS4 is probably more powerful.  The point he is making, is that it's not 30-50% more powerful.  Either way, all of the guesstimates are just that until the systems launch and people can see the games for themselves.  Even when the inevitable system teardowns occur, the results of basic system performance won't be the tell all either.  It will come down to the developers and how the make the games.
