It really don't make sense since the Playstation 4 have much more people who pay for subscription than Xbox, the games software sales are the same difference of the hardware sales if not bigger in favor to the PS4, Xbox One is much cheaper than the PS4, Microsoft is making less money from Hardware while Sony is making more.
And we don't know how much Xbox One is selling compared to the PS4.

not really.
sony could have 40% of ps4 owners pay for ps+, while ms coud have 60% of xb1 owners pay for gold
any other ratio is also possible of course.
microsoft also has more microtransaction heavy games ala forza, halo, killer insinct, minecraft and age of empires castle siege in contrast to sony.
and microsoft probably has a higher overall (including digital) tie ratio, too. the lower the installbase, the bigger the tie ratio. even last gen ms had a higher tie ratio, while installbase was nearly the same for xb360 and ps3
if the average selling price for xbox one is also lower, the hardware - non hardware revenue gap would have been even bigger than my estimate
yes we don't know how much exactly xbox one is selling compared to the ps4. but i thought the general consens is something about 2:1
and even 1.8:1 or 2.2:1 would not make that much of a difference. i was just giving some rough insight in the ms gaming business and how it is slightly different from sony.

Insight without a base isn't good enought because this confuse people more than help.
It seems that your only base is the multiplication of a % growth that Microsoft stated last year.
