Much more important than those small details are the games. At the same price, people will opt by the machine that has better exclusives. At the moment, I think it's XOne. But I expect the PS4 to even in the near future and to surpass it in the long term.

last gen that was the PS3 but people went with what had the better optimised games which was the 360, this gen the PS4 is the system with the better optimised games so as a result the PS4 is selling better than the XB1, exclusives used to sell consoles but multiplats seams to be the deciding factor now, if a multiplat looks and run better on one console than the other the one that runs them better is the one that will be more popular, that's what happened last gen with the 360.

I disagree. X360 sold more at the beginning because it was way cheaper (sometimes being at less than a half of the price!). But, in the end, PS3 managed to sell as much. How such extraordinary recovery took place? PS3's strong line up of exclusives did the magic, not multiplatforms (which did not become inferior on the X360 at any moment during the entire generation).

PS4 is a bit more powerful than XOne, I know that. But if, along with the hardware price match, XOne came with an online service offering what PSN Plus offers, I bet the system would sell as much or even more than PS4. Meaning that, at the exact same price (or better saying value-for-money) so that the only differentiating factor is the machine and its games, XOne would be selling more than PS4 due to the fact that XOne has better games and that alone is far more important than the machine itself.
