At this very moment, yes. But over time, it will get more expensive than GDDR5. Microsoft will have to buy legacy DDR3 RAM as the modules simply won't be produced in masses anymore. Same story as with DDR and DDR2. Expensive as hell nowadays. GDDR5 on the other hand should become cheaper and cheaper over the whole generation. It's a lot more future proof.
About the technical stuff: I think GDDR5 wouldn't have hurt the Xbox. But I'm sure it will be ok without it. GDDR5 alone won't decide anything. But you have to admit that the whole concept of the PS4 just seems a little bit more thought-thru than that of the Xbox One. Unified RAM without eSRAM or eDRAM sure will result in a lot less headaches for developers. That's why I think in the next generation the PS4 might become the lead platform for most third party titles. That alone will make sure games look just a little bit better, same as now on 360.
Of course, I could be wrong. But the way I see it, Sony just did a really good job on the hardware. Not saying the Xbox One is bad. It's just not as good as the PS4 from a hardware perspective.
