  The truth is both products are crap but the no used game thing makes the Xbox one a little crappier. As for ram that remains to be seen the Xbox could actually be faster in practice if the video chip has it’s own dedicated ram despite the lower specs. Then there’s the 3d APIs and game engines which can matter more then the hardware.

  Despite the slowish CPU it would be more then fast enough to play PS1 and PS2 games very well. How you could make PS2 emulation run fast is break up all the parts into separate threads and each one gets it’s own core to run on. It might run much better then single and dual threaded emulators on PCs.
