It's common knowledge PS4 is at least 50% more powerful, that is not "fairly marginal".

 

If it were the other way around and PS4 was weaker then Microsoft would be singing a different tune.

Eh, it actually is fairly marginal... When considering the right perspective.

The gap between ps2 and cube was considerably larger, and xbox larger still (around 8x)...

And the gap between wii u and ps4/xbone is around 4-5x.... And previous system changes were around 20x-40x... (this gen we are looking at about 10x).

Although that does nothing at all to explain why you have weaker harfware priced a hundrrd bucks higher....

It's because they are selling it with an expensive camera.

Yes but last gen turned out to be fairly marginal with PS4 having the more powerful CPU and faster RAM but offset by 360 having unified RAM and slightly better GPU.

 

This time PS4 has 50% better GPU, nearly 3x bandwidth with faster RAM and possibly a faster CPU. Then Kinect saps an extra 10% from an already less powerful GPU.

Huh? The Kinect saps 10% of power from the Graphical Processing Unit?

Sure does, makes the Kinect even worse than a gimmick.

Microsoft would have benefited from not making the Kinect a mandatory device.

Sounds like damage control from Microsoft
