If -- and it's a big if -- Rare managed to make for Xbox One a collection of games comparable to that released during its glory years between 1994 and 2001, then, yes, it would propel that system ahead of PS4. After all, Xbox One and PS4 share much of the same library. Many of the high-profile games of 2015, including Arkham Knight, MGSV, Evolve, and The Division, can be played on either system. Therefore, higher resolution notwithstanding, PS4 has an advantage only with its exclusive software. If Xbox One suddenly received a steady stream of superior exclusive games, many of them masterworks, then it would easily surpass PS4.
But Rare returning to its glory days is a pipe dream, I'm afraid.
