Fairness, value, etc...those are irrelevant, the current state of consoles sales are simply a product of their own decision and characteristics.

 

The difference between the PS3 and the XB1 is the timing, and that timing was extremely significant. The characteristics of PS4 and PS3 vs XB360 and XBONE are nearly identical.

Namely, the PS3 was marginally outselling the XB360 after its bad launch excluding holidays, this along with its support in the other regions was why it caught up.

The XB1 is not doing this, rather its still acting like the XB360 with the main distinction being its selling much faster at the beginning than the 360. Like the 360, it only outsells the PS4 in Holidays, even assuming the trend holds this holidays which is pretty dubious. And it does not have support in more than a few regions.

In contrast, the PS4 is acting like the PS3, but at a much greater sales rate, and it has the region advantage.

This makes it clear how the PS3 can catch up against the 360, but not the One vs the PS4. And the One will never catch up, to the PS4 unless it outsells it regularly.
