My take away:

- PS4 and XBox One are going to be similar hardware wise, with the PS4 having an edge in raw power and the XBox One having an edge in "cleverness" (e.g. memory caching) and power consumption (lower).

- Microsoft is re-using Hyper-V in a very awesome way(!).

- HDMI passthrough is Microsoft's "ace in the hole."

- Developers are going to have a great time this generation thanks to how similar the hardware is (identical in many cases).

I really want to know how Microsoft is able to run two hypervisors and offer GPU acceleration to both concurrently. Is this part of AMD's new CPU+GPU on one die magic, or is this something we'll see on the PC?
