Finally, by all accounts the Xbox One is far more flexible and capable than the PS4, and the PS4 uses the same amount of memory and the same number of cores for non-gaming functions. 

Is there any non-circumstansial evidence to validate this claim? Or it just a personal suposition? How are you defining flexibility? 

I'd say the two cores for the oses are a given fact. The memory footprints seem to be around 5GB, although at this time noone has any ideas why the PS4 wastes so much space here.

Flexibility is basically the ease of changing goalposts on-the-fly I'd suppose. (You know, the tvtvtvtsportstvtvtv, the dgpu, the cloud, the dx12 magic, now it's Office on the X1 instead of tvtvtv.. someday it will be Kinect2, once they manage to actually make a good game for it).
