It was noted some time ago that the Xbone wasn't as powerful. 50% fewer shader units, the GPU can only max at 90%, etc.
Microsoft apparently designed the Xbone more around multitasking media center concepts. Then Sony dropped in an extra 4GB GDDR5 and was apparently more willing to pay for a less stripped down GPU. So it seems, on paper anyhow, that multiplats will reverse from last time around.
Microsoft still has way more money and more of a willing mentality to throw money at third party exclusives though.

Same thing with PS4. The architecture is too different, they'd have to rework every game or create some kind of emulator. Both companies have no interest in the latter after their last stab at it.
To maintain the architecture lands you in a WiiU situation where you run into all sorts of practical limits and come up short of seven year old technology with modernized components.
