Then MS will just go back to their drawing board and bump their spec.
I think MS has realized they cannot be effective with weaker hardware, they are more reliant on third party games than Sony is and that whole thing doesn't work if they have worse hardware.
Even the 360 had better ports in a lot of key games than the PS3 because of a better hardware design. XBox obviously was better than the PS2.
I don't think MS will allow themselves to be underpowered ever again. They made that mistake this gen, Scorpio is basically the "apology" for that they said it over and over again in the unveil video.

The PS3 had a terrible design. You had to pay twice the price for a console that was running games worse than the 360. If the 360 didn't had the high failure rate, it would have destroyed the PS3.
The Xbox wasn't a good example since it was outsold almost 8:1.

XBox OG did what it was supposed to and that was get MS' foot in the door of the industry, it wouldn't have done that likely if it was weaker than the PS2 or just on par.
MS needs the extra horsepower, for Sony it's more of a nice to have, but not neccessarily a must have.
