Last generation, PS3 came a year after the 360, so the power difference was expected and justified. This generation, PS4 and Xone came out at the same time but the power difference is still extremely noticeable, even though Xone is $100 more expensive. I don't get how you can use inferior graphical technology when you're more expensive and releasing at the same time. How can a major company like Microsoft make such a mistake? It's like Nvidia releasing a last gen piece of hardware at the same time as ATI releasing a brand new graphics card.

So XB1 is not only less powerful due to an outdated and inefficient design, but it is also actually more expensive to build. PS4 does not only have a better GPU and much faster RAM but also includeses an extra Arm processor and extra memory etc, utilizing the extra space on the die (which is occupied by the Esram on XB1!). Overall PS4 design is leagues better than that of XB1.

Good post sums it up but you also have to factor in kinect, thats on top of everything else inflates the price.

True but XB1 still costs more (possibly slightly) than PS4, even without Kinect.
Edit : There is also other things to factor in, larger hardware, external power supply etc, which also inflate the price, even without the Kinect.
