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. 

I'm aware of all of that. I'm simply saying specs played a much lesser role in what happened last gen. "Do everything perfect" doesn't mean they had to have a console that was better or equal to the PS4. They just needed software that even the playing field and that's where they fell short. The rise of PSN was the icing on the cake and all other factors were after the fact.
