Ya because we all know the exact price ps4 will be.   They won't to that again and investors can't be so stupid to believe it.  If the ps4 is $600  with these specs then what will the nexbox be priced at with equal specs and supposedly kinect 2 bundled in with it?  The least sony will go is $400 and the most they should go is $500. 

MS can absorb losses though which makes them capable of selling at huge loss for a while, Live even helps soften the losses.

Yes, they can deal with more losses, but which one do you think people will choose if one is cheaper than the other.   A high price tag certainly didn't help sony at all until the price came down.  It would probably be disastrous for MS to launch the nexbox at more than what the ps4 cost.
