It's not about the framerate!

The power difference really isn't that huge its not like we are talking about original X-Box versus PS2 or SNES versus Sega Genesis/Megadrive where with those you could easily spot the power difference even without having side by side screen comparisons.

No your right the power difference is negligable at best isn't it???? 1080p vs720/900p? 30fps vs 60fps??? That isn't huge is it?

Well if you owned the four consoles that I mentioned like I did then you know first hand that there was a much bigger difference between them there is between the X1 and PS4.  The SNES could do Mode 7 which is only one major different between it and the Genesis.  The original X-Box had twice as much ram and ran at 733 Mhz compared to the 299 Mhz of the PS2 which is a lot more then the 50% overal advantage the PS4 has over the X1.  You also have to realize that most people can barely see the difference between 1080p and 720/900p and 30 fps and 60 fps since most people don't have a proper size tv set to actually make the difference noticable and on top of that most people don't have perfect 20/20 vision.
