Only if you're arguing which system is utilized better, as opposed to which one is actually better.
Except for the fact that these are identical, you have a point.
Wait, no you don't. Being "actually" better means being
actually @#%^ing better, not "possibly better if developers happen to change their tune," and not "will be better based on promises of nothing that I read in EGM, where developers started to tease me with empty dreams." It is a clear and egregious mistake.
You're counting potential of a system as a reason to get one in the present actuality. That is ludicrously stupid. The potential of a system has no bearing, in the slightest capacity, on what you should buy
now. You don't even get the ability to buy one as an investment
now, because systems
depreciate. You gain nothing. If you thought that a system had greater potential than another, but not a library to sustain it, then buying one now in hopes that it will mature into a wonderful investment is approximately as nonsensical as shredding 400 dollars and hoping that it will one day reconstitute into a pony.

This has nothing to do with what system is appropriate for most people to buy. I doubt it has anything to do with you either. Do you have large sacks of cash that you can deliver to Konami, allowing them to cut the chain between the kenyan and white guy? I severely doubt it. Do you have political or advisory clout with developers and publishers in order to lobby them or manipulate them yourself in order to fulfill the empty wishes that you have to see the ps3s potential realized? Apparently not.
You talk about what system is actually better without giving the slightest notion to what
actuality entails. The actuality, is that the kenyan is functionally identical to the white guy until someone breaks the tether, and until that point, you haven't the slightest ability to judge the "actual" prowess of the kenyan.
