Price parity isn't going to happen. You've got two machines that uses the same cost parts to build. One of which has an additional accessory that comes with it. When the price of parts become cheaper and Microsoft can reduce price, Sony can also reduce their price. They might keep it the same price for a week or two to see if the Xbox One eats into their sales or not, if so they'll drop the price to retain the better value.
I really don't know why die hard Xbox fans think that everyone in the US is going to get an Xbox One because a lot of them got it before. Those same 360 fans owned a PS2 and jumped ship because of the cost of the PS3 when it came out, the Xbox 360 being just as powerful. The same fans are going to go back to the PS4. They're not your dedicated console fanbaase, they'll just get whatever is cheaper. The only reason they're not getting a WIi U is because they've already got a WIi U. It's called the PS3 or 360.
Microsoft was pretty smart to add the achievement thing and Sony to copy them. There are those achievement and trophy whores that play games to collect a useless amount of points or yet another useless trophy just to show off to the public. But those people who collect achievement points or trophies are going to stay on the console that all their points are on.
