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.

I'm not sure about that. AFAIK market strategy and behavioral analysis claim people do prefer to think and feel they've got something for free rather than get a price discount.

I'm fairly certain that only applies to sales.

PS4 was still cheaper than the $450 Titanfall bundle, so unless you were planning on buying Tiatnfall in the first place or have a strong interest in Kinect (which evidently only Xbox One owners do), PS4 was still the cheaper console.
