And this is how silly rumours start, essentially.....
Care to tell us where you got the "The CPU is significantly larger" nonsense from?
"as is the number of co processors": When did dma controlers suddenly turn into "processors"? Of course MS needed a lot of secondary stuff on their SoC, it is not like the esram works on its own, and noise cancellation mics and speech recognition require "expensive" hardware, or "co-processors" in MS's words.
"development of DirectX 11.2 over it's competitors" - Yikes, MS owns directX, it is THEIR driver for WndowsX, there is NO competitor developing directX. Fortunately the competition doesn't really care about directX at all, since they have their own drivers to take care of (which, as an added bonus, can work much closer to hardware if they chose so).
So None of it "is lost as it whooshes over people's heads", because the competitiors just don't bother about what MS is doing, they try to solve their own problems instead. While we get daily (almost hourly) updates from some MS pr guy on just how great their console is, the competitor just quietly trundles along, This should give you a good idea about who is in a better position right now.
