Are Xbox One buyers REALLY paying $100 more for weaker hardware?

Addition to OP:
MS also went with a consistent design (console, power brick, cables,...) which is what only Nintendo has done before I think. I like that because it adds some sense of quality (note: not saying it IS better, it just makes people think that, that's the way brands work, you know) when it's not just some ordinary accessory. Not sure if Sony has finally done that as well but I guess not, based on OP.

Yet another post that baffles me.

What on earth does that mean!? Sony didn't go with a consistent design!? W  U  T
