I've never looked at the X and Pro, but the 360 was miles behind the PS3 design-wise. On top of the stuff already mentioned don't forget the analog-only video output, stereo audio, no included HDD, and don't forget that 43% failure rate. If you ever opened up a 360 and a PS3 it was pretty obvious which one had far more thought put into the design. Similarly with the One they cheaped out on stuff like the internal HDD so games load faster off an external drive. It also had a more bloated OS so games didn't run quite as well (granted I doubt anyone would be able to tell and I think they fixed that later on).
I also hated how my cats tail would trigger the power button on the One but that's more of a personal grievance lol.

I agree (and so would Microsoft) that the 360 was poorly designed. Obviously, it cost them millions to fix the issue, and they are only just getting the trust of the people back.
But I was only referring to graphics hardware capability.. I guess that's not the best thing to do, since a product is a lot more than just the amount of pixels it can put out.
You make great points that I should have noticed, especially considering I was just shopping for a new phone recently, and came across this very issue (there is a LOT of cheap garbage out there with very high specs) Thanks for setting me straight
