I think there are some major differences, maybe not from a graphical perspective, but from the way gameplay works and how the menu works and interaction and multiplayer works, it's very different.
Yeaaaaah, then apparently Microsoft doesn't know how to read tech specs. Also, Tablet Controller + Motion Controller = Incredibly different from standard Xbox controller.
It's not as if consoles haven't had the same controller design. The only thing that makes them different is the placement of some things and the design. Besides, Nintendo is making necessary adjustment to attract the "hardcore gamers", so making controller look alikes or actually return to what their controller designs were doesn't mean their playing the doppelganger card.
