The problems with these articles, is that they assume the PS4 was designed by a group of monkeys hammering with rocks and duct-taping parts together, and the XB1 was diamond-laser assembled by a crack team of Einstein level geniuses.

The reality is both devices were designed by very capable engineers, but one group just happened to choose some more powerful components for gaming, and the other group focused efforts on integrating certain aspects more than others (TV, Football, Kinect).

There's no secret sauce or miracles involved here. Just divergent design decisions and directions.
