Lower the price of PS4, substantially increase the userbase therefore getting significantly more game and accessory sales. It will result in better financials no doubt.

I agree with this.  THe difference is that both M$ and Nintendo could cut price too.  If they all drop price, it equals the faster adoption rate, but not always a bigger user base in the end.

While they could who says it would do much good for them ?

My U cost 249.99 quite a while ago.  i dont know how low they would have to go to really motivate sales.  

While X1 just showed a lower price did not much for it.  It may be in a GC situation where low low price wont do much to spur sales, a product lacking demand will sale only so little no matter how low the price goes.  

I don't think that the XB1 has showed a lack of demand.  I think it has showed a lack of pricing.  I am not sure how people call the removal of hardware a price drop?  Did the price change?  Yes, but part of the system capability left with it.  M$ hasn't been screaming off the rooftops about the new price. 

We are so close to the holiday season, the real price changes are just around the corner.  THe reason Sony even brought up their cost of production drops was to let invenstors know that they won't be in trouble this holiday when they do the normal bundles and special pricing this season to keep pace with what crazy stuff M$ will be doing.
