The thing is, though, the US was MS's only stronghold. Even when the PS3 was way expensive, it dominated the 360 everywhere else except the US. Now that Sony has the price advantage, the PS4 is absolutely DESTROYING the XBone around the world, and making the XBone look silly in its best territory.
If the XBone was the same price, yea, it may beat the PS4 in the US, but the rest of the world would still dominate. Remember that the PS3 had to play catch up, and worldwide domination outside the US helped that. Now the PS4 and XBone have released at the same time. Take the rate at which the PS3 was selling during the course of its lifetime so far, but with aligned launched. The PS3 would be way ahead of the 360, instead of being a statistical tie.
After the strides the PS3 made, even if the PS4 was more expensive, it would still dominate and there wouldn't be any excuses ("well, if you align the launches...") because we'd see the results first hand instead of making inferences and extrapolations.
