damn people you really need to read or at least try to understand. PS4 IS MORE POWERFUL, we all know that and most of us never really question that part. the question is can an inferior spec sheet "on paper" can be as good as the other one more powerful, with better design and custom tweaks in real life. the answer is yes!!! Now, don't get me wrong, the PS4 will still probably end up having a slight advantage in the end but this will be way less noticeable than what the specs on paper make it out to be. I have always said a 50% more power on raw spec almost never translates into 50% better performance.
now that said you have to take into consideration what you want from your box, specs and design are far from the full story.
-What game do you want to play
-what pad you prefer (I know my hands are physically allergic to the DS format, so just that is a big point in my decision),
-do you have a use for an IR blaster (many device and many remotes you wish you could do without during gaming or even for your family that is not especially tech friendly),
- do you have a use for Kinect (do you like to have fun beside seating down, or in groups of friends, do you like fitness, dance games or out of the usual pad games, are you scared or not by it, do you have high enough self-esteem to not feel silly when talking to it and see how it can help you navigate way more naturally and faster than using the old pad ways)
-are you interested by the AV pass through (because you like to be able to switch, fast and seamlessly between TV and gaming when there is a commercial break or during wait time in MP game lobbies)
-are you interested by multi tasking capabilities or do just one thing with a console and game
-are you interested by the online current capabilities and especially the future of it that will ever get greater with time
-and finally do you like the idea that in the future your game/apps might be cross compatible across all there OSs to some extend or in some way....
all that should make you decide what platform is more suited for your needs than just raw spec which at the end will barely add anything to what you actually do and need with a console....
well at least it's my take on it
