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.

They would have sold a bit more with better specs, but I doubt 80 million. Again, specs don't sell systems for long periods. The GameCube was many times more powerful than the PS2, for example, but in the end, its software was lacking and that is why they lost so bad.

It's unshakable. Software is the driver of longevity, not hardware specs. They simply play an early role in new adoption, which helps, yes, but Sony didn't sell 117 million PS4's mainly because it had a 50% more powerful graphics card.

Sony differently has the better exclusives but for the most part the libraries  are similar.  Sony big  exclusives sellers also came out  4 years after ps4 release and it was already blowing away xbox by that time.
