Considering the following facts I think that claim is invalid:
PS3 price cut took approximately a year, from 500 to 400, there was a 599 model but also a 499$ model release at the same time.
X1 price cut took approximately half a year from 500 to 400.
However, the X1 teardown reveals that it costs 470-480 to produce with the kinect, the PS3 cost 800$ to produce.
Therefore, Sony had the retail cost at 400$ less then the manufacturing price vs 100$ less then manufacturing price in half the time, 200$ vs 100$ in the same time period.
Not to mention, BC and the Cell were a lot more of a commitment then the Kinect, which was launched as a nonessential peripheral.
Furthermore, Sony had no idea what would happen in the future, while MS has the benefit of hindsight.
So thats not a valid reason because of the different contexts.
