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

First off, minor differences, not substantial.  Let's not stretch things more than they are or over react like people already have.

i dont think 50%-120% higher resolution with more stable frame rate and more effects is minor. if thats considered minor,
i cant imagine what the differences in current gen multiplats are. thats only 5-15% difference in resolution, and people often made a big dead about it.

And i certainly dont think XBO will sell the most but I do want to show you this.

Wii - 100m sold
PS2 - 150m sold

Both were the weakest console.

well PS2 wasnt the weakest, it was stronger than the dreamcast. furthermore, the power of the console was almost completely irrelevent to the sales of the consoles (and certainly weaker consoles dont attract sales). those 2 consoles abviously garnered those sales due to the cheap prices and game catalog. The more powerful a console is is a nice selling point, and it does help (the weaker the console does hinder sales to an extent), but price and games trump power in console sales. also ps2 launched earlier than gamecube and xbox. launching before your major competiton also help game sales.

and it so happens the PS4 is more powerful, is less money, and has games, and is launching before xboxone. So xbox being less powerful is not going to help it in sales at all.
