There is a third factor when choosing a CPU: heat. The 8350 is a 125W chip, and you can't mount one of those on a tiny, console box without running into overheating problems.

Oh, and yes, the PS4 beats the X1 because it has a much better GPU.

Let's not talk about power consumption. I know some people don't care about that, but I'm always looking about how much I'm going to spend at home with each console. I have a small wallet :P. This gen it's fine, but previous one was a bit overpriced for my taste. It doesn't seem too much if you game a little, but on the long term is not that bad lol. 

OT, I think Nintendo could easily manage to make a PS4-like powerful console, and prized it 300-350 now. I just hope they don't include an expensive controller (as much as I like the Gamepad, it's made the bundle more expensive). Prize is an important factor on people's choice about a console. 

But I wasn't talking about the electricity cost, but the amount of heat that the components produce.

The PS4 and X1 use more than 100W while gaming (source: extremetech.com) but that is for the whole device: CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD and optical drive. With the 8350, just the CPU would already generate more heat that a PS4/X1, and you should have to add a similar amount for the rest of the console.

You can't put 200W of hardware into a shoe sized box and expect to run cool without big heatsinks and noisy fans, which no one wants.
