This is just a backhanded compliment. And only applies if you wish to shill out the extra $200 for the X. As far as base HW goes, PS4 is still better. Of course, exclusives are what gives your console an identity and real reason to buy. It's why the PS4 will sell 120M+ and XBO might not even hit 50M.
