I don't think Sony regrets it but I do think they went $50 light on the price. $449 PS4 vs $499 Xb one would still have given PS4 a marketing advantage in the launch warz. But the risk was sending possible PS4 buyers over to Wii U.

$499 would have given MS a marketing edge with Kinect, and losing $10 per console instead of $60 is perfectly fine for the launch period.

I really doubt a $500 PS4 would send many users to Wii U due to the abysmal 3rd party selction. Worst case scenario, many users would just stick with or go to PS3 and 360.

Possibly, but I think Sony had half an eye on Wii U in its pricing decision, but 1 1/2 eyes on Xb one.
