Well he's kinda right, competitive does not mean better selling.

Its games have a higher metacritic.
It has more AAA exclusives
Its cheaper to produce then PS4
It has a busier fall line up then the PS4.
Probably will be in more supply based on what others have said.
Kinect is far more functional then PS eye (not sure about the cost difference though)

The only way the PS4 seems competitive seems to be on the goodwill it has with customers and its power/resolution advantage.

People seem more interested in playing sides, then they are in applying logic.

"Its cheaper to produce then PS4"

That has nothing to do with competitiveness, the price of the console is what you should be comparing.

Sales is a metric used to determine how competitive you actually are in an industry. To be competitive, you must be in a competition with someone (i.e the ps4). So ask yourself, what is Microsoft's/Sony's goal with these consoles, what are they competing on? Is it to have the most AAA exclusives? Is it to have the busiest fall line up? To help you answer this question, ask yourself this, would Microsoft trade its "busier fall line up" for more sales? Everything you mentioned is just Microsoft trying to drive up sales, that is the goal of these companies, and that is where the competition between them is.
