I don't see how this is possible. Even with the Xbox 360 launching earlier and having a far easier development platform than the PS3, Sony still caught up and now has shipped more machines than Microsoft. Now in this generation they both launch at the same time, development should be the same difficulty, the PS4 is $100 cheaper and it won the popular opinion battle. Plus the PS4 is launching worldwide while Xbox One is in select countries (and Microsoft doesn't even seem interested in trying to crack the Japanese market this time)
If we're talking about the US market only (and that article is only talking about a specific American retailer), then maybe the Xbox One might be able to get a slight edge over time. But worldwide I doubt it will even be close for this generation
