Considering 4k players cost around $200+ I would say Xbox Slim is selling at a loss, and as a gamer if there taking a loss that means there giving more to there audience.

One reads giving and the other reads greedy.

1 TB Xbox One Slim - 349$

1 TB PS4 Pro - 399$

50$  more for something with 300% the power of the Xbox One S ?  (x3 performance increase)

One of these plays games in 720-900p, the other 1440-1800p (with hardware side upscaleing thats better than the xbox one S's).

Theres a massive differnce in how games look on these systems.

 

How is this greedy?

Considering the XB1 Slim is using old X1 hardware, the price of the 4k player is obviously half the cost of the console or maybe more. Sony cheaped out on the 4k player its quite obvious here where as MS didnt. Slim is most likely being sold as a loss where as Pro most likely isnt. The company taking the loss is giving more. Will wait and see if the Slim and Pro are profitable or not. 

The X1 Slim is also sold under $300. Comparing the the most expensive model to the cheapest is a poor comparison. We all know hardware space adds a larger price tag.
