Not necessary, last gen was equal between the two systems, this gen, most 360 owners switched to PS4 and not only that, PS4 sold better because of the hardware advantage.

If Xbox take back there crown of better visuals then all hell will break loose. Both Sony and MS have the same market, those that game on PS or Xbox are the same buyers as last gen. trying to win over that audience is the key. This Gen Sony has done well in getting people to cross to PS. XB2 might make afew early adopters upset since I would be pissed if I changed to a system believing I choose the better hardware only to realise that I have the weakest.

Again it’s why I recommend PC gaming over console gaming. Steam and Battle.net are much better value than guessing where these consoles are going to be in afew years’ time.

All hell won't break loose. The argument will shift, as it always does. Nothing will change and extreme fanatics will remain extreme fanatics. Rinse and repeat.

And, as stated before, it wasn't just because of a hardware advantage as to why the PS4 is ahead. The PlayStation brand is just much, MUCH bigger than the Xbox. Regardless of power.

I believe the issue with the power advantage lied in the fact that the 2 perceived advantages of the previous generated had shifted, Xbox had better performance in multiplats (even if marginally better) and a much better controler. Both these advantages dissipated coming to this generation, adding to the already much more varied lineup of games PS always had as well as the brand power behind it. Add to it an initial price advantage and here we are now.

I do think that the Neo specs are not set in stone when it comes to processor and I suspect that if the new Xbox will have a performance advantage, Sony might go from Jaguar to something better and negate that advantage. We will have to wait and see
