So Sony can be down YoY for every reason BUT for competetion from XBox One? It can't possibly ever be that MS was simply a much tougher opponent this year and is making Sony sweat a lot more. 

Do I have that about right? 

This was not Neodegenerate's point, at all... He was providing other reasons for the PS4's YOY decline that should also be acknowledged.

EDIT: Beaten

MS doesn't have a new Halo this year, yet they are doing fine. Which games does MS have this year that should be keeping them so much more competetive. With respect, Gears alone isn't that big of a game changer, it's a smaller IP than Halo. 

They both have Slim models.

Sony also has a Pro model on top of that. 

One is trending up, the other trended down. Sorry but that is a fact for December. 

I acknowledge PS4's decline, I'm just saying it could also be freaking Microsoft that is also one reason why. MS is a lot tougher than they were one year ago.
