I didn't calculate the precise percentages yet but my previous estimates with XB1 being $100 more had the following regional (North American) distribution between XB1 and PS4, and the effect of a $100 cut.

(Before price decrease)
XB1 : 35 - 45 %
PS4 : 55 - 65 %

After price decrease)
XB1 => up by 5-10% (below 50%)
PS4 => down by 5-10% (above 50%)

With all this media negativity, the loss of initial momentum and the cut of sales for a few months before June in addition to PS4 being recognized as the stronger hardware, stronger brand, and more friendly policies, I still predict XB1 to have less than 50% of market share in North America, although the competition will be a lot closer this time around (up by 5-10% in XB1's favor).
