Microsoft might get away with weak hardware and still sell well because of other stuff and that makes me sad...

The most powerful console of each generation has never ever ever been the top seller.

Look at what the more powerful consoles were though. Either they were the most expensive (sometimes way overpriced), beaten to the punch by a console that was already highly successful, or had no previous history in the industry. The PS4 is the most powerful and is not the most expensive, was not beaten to the punch by a successful console (relatively speaking), and has a brand history.

This is all true.  The PS4 may be the first time the most powerful console wins. Nobody is disputing that.  The OP is worried that the weaker hardware may win and he somehow feels that is a bad thing.  I think we've reached a point where power isn't as important as it used to be so having the best box isn't going to be as important as having the best games...but that's how it's always been.  OP is worried over nothing.  The games will decide who wins.
