Honest question here: why would he think PS4 is cheaper than Xbone when PS4 has superior hardware? Could the new Kinect really drive the Xbone's price that much?

So far, the only PS4 part that is confirmed to be superior is RAM.   X1's  CPU and GPU information are pure speculation.

From http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-spec-analysis-xbox-one:

In terms of the GPU hardware, hard information was difficult to come by, but one of the engineers did let slip with a significant stat - 768 operations per clock. We know that both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are based on Radeon GCN architecture and we also know that each compute unit is capable of 64 operations per clock. So, again through a process of extrapolation from the drip-feed of hard facts, the make-up of the One's GPU is confirmed - 12 compute units each capable of 64 ops/clock gives us the 768 total revealed by Microsoft and thus, by extension, the 1.2 teraflop graphics core. So that's another tick on the Durango leaked spec that has been transposed across to the final Xbox One architecture and the proof we need that PlayStation 4's 18 CU graphics core has 50 per cent more raw power than the GPU in the new Microsoft console
