Irrelevent, what those two duds do is pretty meaningless and should be clear to most as far as PS4 sales are concerned.  

So, the PS4 is going to outsell the most successful console in history but the One, which is currently about 700k behind in lifetime totals in this region is a "dud"? How does that work? Also; the Wii U has sold 4.3 million in NA in about 2.5 years while the One has sold 7.3 million and the PS4 around 8 million in 1.5 years, if the parameters of sales are that wide; doesn't that also, by your very definition, make the PS4 a dud?

Ps4 sold at full price, while the dud got heavy discounts to move.  A flaied product or a dud can sale alot if you discout it enough, but it means a quick market death (ex blackberry tablet)   

Works by common factors in sales, pricing and long term product sales.  Cuting kintect and then to 349 worked wery well short term, but they ruined their long term sales potential.  

Excesivly fast discounting of any priduct kills its long term sales, since you can only cut so much for so long.  MS has exhausted their ceeling for cuts quite fast.  PS4 has a long healthy life of price cuts before it.  Having sold 20 million plus at full price, its long term sales potential is multiple times better.

 Cant blame them for doing what they had to since X1 was falling and they had to do something.  But their is a price to pay with their strategy.
