I don't think you're understanding the argument being put forward.
If MS had turned all of their early manufacturing towards making NA systems, and shipped only to NA in the first couple of weeks, they would still sell the same number of consoles they did across 13 countries, because the same number of consoles would be manufactured, but they would all be sold in US and Canada, and thus would match the PS4's launch numbers in the region.
It's certainly a debatable claim, but not one that you can dismiss outright. The question to ask is, did the Xbox One sell out its first shipment, or are there some Xbox Ones still on shelves? If the former, then the claim is likely right that Xbox One would have sold just as well as PS4 given equal shipment numbers, while if the latter, then the claim is wrong.
