I doubt it will cost more than the console itself. MS knows there's no point in an AR peripheral device with too high of a price point. The price needs to be cheap in order to compete with VR offerings.

But it won't. Personally I think they should make  a dumb down "hololense" for Xbox in the 300-400$ range. While the actuall hololense can be around 800-1000$.

Both versions are too damn expensive. It can't cost more than a console or a good pc. It won't sell that well and it'll just be niche. It needs to appeal to as many people as possible. Those prices are too expensive for that to happen.
