I'm curious to see what the breakdown cost of the Kinect 2 sensor will be and whether that played any sort of factor into the higher than expected price.

I don't think I can remember anyone saying they either expected or hoped the next gen Xbox would be priced this high.

Still factoring in the cost of XBL Gold on top since not everyone is going to be grandfathering their current subscription and even fewer bought a stack of XBLG one year subscription cards for the next 5-10 years before the price was adjusted.

Between this and all the restrictions regarding licenses and connection requirements, MS is pretty much leaving the door wide open for SCE here. They are really banking on customer loyalty and brand name recognition for success this time around.
