Actually, I would say it was less about power and more about presentation. When Xbox One first came out, Don Mattrick was running the show, and it was all about how the console would be your TV's DVR. It was all about TV, TV, TV, and how Xbox was not so much a game console, but an entertainment hub. Also, the whole anti-used-game fiasco... all of it was just a massive PR nightmare right out of the gates. Sony saw the error in what Microsoft was doing, and wisely countered at just the right time and the rest was history. By the time Phil took over, the damage was pretty much done.
