Xbox One, Just like PS3 will come back and sell very high, They already signaled they will drop price, meaning will well see a price cut in the Fall. Most likely $100 off. This will push numbers very high for XBox One. The launch was very successful and looks like they just need the price to be right. The ones not buying in, obviously think $500 is just to much and to many it is. However $399 would be acceptable I think. So No I don't Think PS4 will get 50% market Share. It's only a matter of time before MS makes some major moves and this will stimulate sales.

It is unlikely that MS will take an additional $100 hit off their margins with a $399 MSRP in the hopes of chasing higher marketshare. 

It's easy for platform fans to wish this, but a big part of the 8th gen when it came to the original design process, was to minimize losses per unit right out of the gate. I don't doubt that this played a role in convincing board members that the Xbox brand was well worth continued support and development.

The only way MS would backtrack and take such a loss per unit, would be if the platform was in danger of becoming marginalized and developer support was beginning to drop off.

We'll see. Time will tell. XB1 sales can't stay as low as they currently are (launch window or no, this is still the slowest time of the year for hardware sales), but I wouldn't personally be making mighty predictions that sales will magically blow up sustainably in the near future.
