Well, I know it's fun to pick on this, but really,
this is pretty much the truth.

Xbox boss says hardware analysis between consoles is meaningless

Throwing out big numbers?
Like 5 billion transistors.
300,000 servers.
The infinite power of the cloud.
The XB1 being 3x, 5x, 10x, infinity x more powerful than its predecessor.
All meaningless. Go tell your colleagues.

It is definitely loser speak, and Jack Tretton and Andrew House have gone on saying that "the PS4 is the most powerful home video game console ever created", or something along those lines.
Well, PC isn't a console (its a platform) so they're right with that are they not?

This together with the thread on Xbox memory performance tells me that we are at the part of the PR cycle where MS tries to explain away the power difference. Expecially in the face of a $100 price difference.
Next they will come up with some convoluted claim that their system doesnt really have 2gb's less ram available for games. And even if it does, having 2gb's less ram doesnt really make a difference anyway. Right?
Have you guys seen Titanfall?!

This!
One if the Many reasons I'm excited about the PS4 is because of Mark Cerny, I truly respect this guy especially after watching and hearing him in recent interviews and talks!
I love him

Smacks of desperation on MS' part. We'll see how "meaningless" these numbers are come the end of the next console cycle.

Of course it is, but that's on the reason why MS doesn't want to talk about specs and you know it. This is proof of that
When they have specs that they feel are on par or better than other consoles then you can't shut them up about it. It's very telling that they don't want to talk about this.

The only thing "meaningless" is your "infinite cloud power" bullshit, MS. Let's not pretend like that's not empty buzzword "tech-talk".

but but but... transistors and clouds.....
The PS4 cloud is for streaming games, the Xbox cloud is for processing game data, so they're two different things with the same name.

MS: We can't compete in specs, so we don't want to comment.
Hard to lose when the consoles aren't even out yet.

Sure, but it's also hypocritical to say nobody cares about specs, they only care about games, then go on to infer that your system is better because of magic and the cloud. Isn't that kind of talking about things from your spec sheet that you feel your competition doesn't have?
oh man lol
Nice find! Too bad the images are not there anymore.

In the numbers game they're in 2nd place.

Of course, they know they have weaker specs, but I'm also on the side that really it's all about the games and what they can bring in that regard. Just let me see the awesome software. 1.2Tf GPU vs 1.8TF etc etc I don't care about. Let me see what games you guys can bring.
He's talking like that other company.
Haha, oh dear.

After reading that I'd have to agree with the article in the OP(numbers don't matter, proofs in the pudding)...If we went purely by the numbers MN gave, the PS3 would have been a train wreck which it wasn't.

Man, this only makes them look salty. If he said wait till you see the games, fair enough but to suggest the xbone is better coz of dat magic, get da fucc outta here bruh

That was the most douchey response to a question I've read from a representative in a while...
Is this the same corporation that that basically said exclusives don't matter, and Forza, Fable, Gears and Halo were enough for their Xbox audience?
I don't for one bit believe that they will continue the same exclusive output after the launch window...they will push the hardware initially with games like Dead Rising 3 and Sunset Overdrive but a year in we'll get a trickle of exclusives at the end of the year while they push television, and apps..
I really want Microsoft to fall flat on their faces this generation so they can at least learn something. It happened to Sony with the PS3, it needs to happen with Microsoft and sadly I don't think that will happen with the reception it's getting.

Keep telling yourself that, Albert. What was your company touting with the original Xbox against the PS2?
Exactly.

...and then he goes on to mention the cloud.
The fact that people are being paid for this is unfathomable. I want that job - I'll lie extra good, please!

Clearly PR fluff, but is will infact (as it's always been) be about the games.
We have more of these in microscopic form, therefore there's no reason to discuss specs.

He's right, it is all about the games. However, he wouldn't be saying this if the tables were turned and the xbox had the better specs.

Wait, what is Xbox losing?
Games are certainly the primary driver, but hardware still matters in the overall analysis. So, no, it pretty much isn't the truth that it's "meaningless".
Just on a superficial level: how many more games can you buy if you purchase a $399 piece of hardware vs. a $499 piece of hardware, since the hardware is apparently meaningless?
