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.

PS4 and Xbox share a very similar library. As a 360 owner I immediately said i'm buying a PS4  after seeing the specs compared to xbone. The gaming community were  ecstatic about ps4 specs and ram, while  xbox was a laughing stock. I think it was a Huge reason and if specs were reversed i have no doubt that xbone would have put a much better fight and probably sold 80 million last gen.
