Yeah, it's a big difference.
You only need 400 bucks with taxes to get yourself a Xbone with two games included while you need 440 to get just a PS4 (assuming a max 10% sales tax, but at that price it's only a few bucks less anyway). If anyone thinks that someone who just wants an next gen system is going to pass that up because they want a PS4, they have another thing coming.
Another thing to consider is parents. What system do you think they're going to bring home; the glossy one for 440 bucks after taxes or the one that cost about $385 after taxes and comes with 2 games? That's even tempting to me and I've never owned a Microsoft console nor did I have plans to.
In other words, I don't see those sales slipping anytime soon, and Sony's counter bundle needs to be in stores NOW, not one week from now on Black Friday. I just have a feeling their going to get crushed.
On a side note, I'm sure Microsoft's board isn't too happy with it, but one thing I will say is this is a huge win for consumers or anyone that's in the market for a nextgen console.
