Why do people still ask that question? I mean, it's a lot simpler than some people normally make it out to be. Of course they are competing. They both sell traditional gaming consoles, mainly used to play games. It's that simple.
Funnily enough though, this discussion only arises when sony is "losing" the competition.

As I said in the opener:

I think the answer is actually very nauanced and very much depends on what sort of user we are talking about.  Young/adult, causal/core, income, etc.  All of these change per person, but very much reflect if the user actually has to make a dollar choice between the two systems.

It's not a simple thing and you could make good arguments either way.
