I mean you expect systems  that are catering to the same audience to be close in power since they basically came out at the same time. On top of the gpu, you also  also had 8GB lump of fast GDDR5 memory compared to xbox slow ram. Which  gamers were going crazy for online. i would say that they differently shot themselves in the foot, and they sacrificed the specs for kinect which was DOA on xboxone.  

Game output had a far bigger impact than specs. What helped the PS3, for example, were the games, despite the system being notoriously difficult to work with.

A console is only as good as its software. 

I agree with you some what, but there are other factors as well. Europe is basically Sony land and it's a big reason ps3 was able to out sell 360 or match it. sony is a much bigger gaming brand, it's like japan for example it's Nintendo land. Microsoft by far has the weakest  gaming brand and releasing significantly weaker console at the same time basically sealed the console war, when they needed t do everything perfectly just to compete.
