Sure, but with MS in a much better financial position that hurts Sony more. MS benefits by selling higher (likely at a profit) while Sony is selling likely at around cost or a small loss. PS4 has more expensive memory and GPU so simple addition of Kinect doesnt mean costs for Xbox One is higher. In the future estimates will come out and I believe based on the components that the PS4 and the Xbox One will cost about the same to produce.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
