PS4 had nothing of it and yet sold a lot more... so?

You are surely assuming a lot. So since speculation is useless we can only go for the "real" differences.

If Sony start producing the same tecnology 1 year earlier they will have bigger improvements in cost.

If the power and frequency of the chip is smaller they will have better output rates on the dies.

By being a litle weaker it will drain less power, generate less heat, probably be smaller and cheaper as well (including power supply and cooling system).

 

All you put isn't exactly smaller cost but smaller margins or negative margins, so final price could be small for MS, but cost won't.

MS pretty much destroyed themselves with the DRM fiasco and ps4 does have a power advantage. Plus Sony had that brilliant launch advertising campaign. 1) The one with the crowds and the girl who said 'All my friends who are gamers own Playstation.' 2) Followed with Greatness Awaits. It was a masterclass in marketing. I fully expect them to do it again. 3) Its why I said it could be 2 hamsters. Sony has a year and a good marketing team. Neo will sell millions.

1) Who?  I own two ps4's and I have no idea to what you refer.

2) You mean the tagline that's been shredded and mocked since introduction?

3) It's still insulting no matter how you adjust it. Is there a particular reason why you think ps4 owners (many of whom I assume own multiple gaming devices) are so dimwitted they'd be tricked by slick marketing (marketing that's been made into parody, see #2) into buying a machine run by hamsters without realizing it?  Or are they knowingly buying said machine run by hamsters and not electronics simply out of love for brand?

just curious as I've seen this common line of thought across the interwebz for sometime. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.
