"That is incorrect. Microsoft never tried to match PS4 power. They tried to build a low cost machine so they could pack Kinect in at a reasonable price"
Well, they didn't do a very good job. Less powerful console (although not by a large margin) and a peripheral nobody really wanted, $500 vs More powerful console (again, small margin) w/o camera peripheral nobody really wanted, $400. Add to that, $60 of live for multiplayer and other online related activities vs $50 for PS+ for multiplayer and other online activities + "free" (noticed the quotes) games. Granted, they aren't the greatest selection of games but they are good games. With live, you get games with gold, you can keep the games they give you even after losing live offering good games but very few and somewhat outdated vs PSplus's games, which are essentially available until your PS+ sub ends, but with a much much much, greater variety of games of recent memory, along with "free" PSVita titles and I mean good titles (wipeout, uncharted, gravity rush, SFvsT, monster hunter, etc)
The main thing that will set these 2 consoles apart is the games and right now, they are just about equally matched (including Titanfall and inFamous) with the xbox one winning by a small margin.
