No they are not, never have been, and never will be.

 

They definitively disrupted Sony's console reign last gen, even if it was mostly because of Sony's own fucks-up. Still, they managed to took advantage of it, and as a result we saw a fierce competition between them two unlike any other gen on which Sony has been a participant.

In this  situation we had Xbox, a console that in Worldwide proportions, no one knew nothing about,  with Next Gen games, enabled Piracy in the very first years (this was very important for a lot of countries back then, also for my country), and for 300US$.

while Sony, launched a console 1 year after for 600US$ with Blu-ray player, something not very popular in the time, with a very difficult piracy, the Piracy, only was possible several years  after the console's Release, Hard to develop to, and Lack of games in the  Beggining of the console generation, with the best games only releasing after 2008-2009, and with Some Japanese games exclusive for Xbox 360.

 

What i want to say, is that Microsoft, made the best moves possible at the time, and Sony, the worse moves possible at the time, now, even if Sony, screw everything up with the more than 20 Millions of Lead that the PS4, have, Microsoft, would take 2-3 Years to over-take PS4's Sales, if they continue to sell at this pace, and if PS4, don't sell 1 unit from now, until then, so is really  impossible for Microsoft, to turn the table this generation, only on another generation this will be possible.
