"It's Not the Specs That Count" Microsoft Nervously Mumbles As They Stare At Their Feet

Here's an interesting article, with murmurings from the development world indicating that the PlayStation 4 is 50% faster than the Xbox One:

While this does appear to be just another “PS4 is better than Xbone!!!!11” type article, does anyone else find a bit of déjà vu raring its familiar head with Microsoft’s response?

“Xbox One architecture is much more complex than what any single feature can convey.”

This was a very similar argument that Sony made during the last, I mean current, generation when cross-console games appeared noticeably better on the 360 than on the PS3. 

Will the Xbox One be playing catch up with the PS4 in the upcoming generation?  Will Sony and Microsoft continue to compare their pen I mean umm specs arguing theirs is the best?  I guess time will tell!
