Post NPD fallout: The central question imo is if a X1 that was cheaper than PS4 would outsell PS4

Wasn't the X1 cheaper in US than the PS4 this month? If you take into account the free game it was. And look at the giant push it got from that.

Even if it was (and I don't think it was) it doesn't matter. It's the entry price that counts.

Its the value a consumer perceives that counts. 

Even at 350 fo a X1, the PS4 is a more attractive buy. 

Don't think so. At this stage the entry price counts more than the value. You can put how much you want in a bundle, if a person earns that much there is only so much he or she can spend on videogames. $500 is way too high now. People will start considering more the value when we enter the 199-300 price range.
