it does to an extent:
#1 it will always look appealing to the casual gamer... say if they're only into maybe the big 3rd party titles then why pay $100 more for the XB1 when you can get the same games on the PS4 for $100 less(depending on the confirmed models)
#2 it usual gives the the cheaper console more leverage for years to come; say if MS drops the price of XB1 to $400 then Sony might be able to counter with dropping the PS4 to $300
