With the PS3 and 360, the PS3 was overall the more powerful system architecturally, but was hard to develop for because of the cell. At least PS3 owners could hold out hope knowing that the potential was there once devs figured the thing out. With the Xbox One, it's the hard system to develop for this time around but it's also way weaker than the PS4 so it doesn't even have that potential. In an absolute best case scenario for the Xbox One, it could get better but it will still pale in comparison to the PS4 performance wise.
Plus, no one wants the Kinect. People want their games in 1080p, not their Skype calls. People want 60 fps, not the ability to talk to their system. Way to force an unwanted piece of hardware into every SKU. Microsoft doesn't listen to what the people want, they tell them want they want. Sony has done the opposite and it's done wonders for them so far.
Not to mention, the XB1 bottle necks itself so certain parts of the hardware can't even work to their full potential due to limitations in other areas. It's really mind blowing how such a big engineering brain fart could take place like this. It's going to waste so much of their money spending money on parts for the system that can't even be used because it's bottle necked. The problem is that since they've already launched the system, it's too late to change it. They're screwed and now have a bottle necked system for the next 8 years.
