To be clear, i was talking about console design...
But I disagree re: hardware too. PS1, PS2, sure; iconic designs. Xbox 360 was less powerful on paper but Sony made the PS3 impossible to code. It's a large reason why they're still ignoring backwards compatibility.
PS4 vs Xbox launch hardware was an easy win for PS4 but since that, all revisions have been better handled by Microsoft both aesthetically and in terms of hardware engineering. The PS4 Pro is massively limited by its thermal envelope because whoever designed it had no idea what the were doing. The One X, however, has a fantastic thermal cooling design that allows for more power than the PS4 Pro and in a smaller footprint.
It looks to be the same for the Series X - more powerful console (we'll see by how much but on paper at least...) in a much smaller footprint.
