XMPP or HTTP Which one scales better

XMPP or HTTP Which one scales better

The author of Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript and jQuery claims that stateless protocols like HTTP are much better to scale, as servers dont have to exchange the state among them, while the author of XMPP The Definitive Guide, claims that XMPP can scale very much better than HTTP ... I'm mind buggled, which of them scales better than the other?
