And why couldn't Microsoft priced the Xbox One intially at $400 like the PS4 for the "SAME capabilities to the general consumer?"

That's EXACTLY my point...

Microsoft priced their hardware way too high (100$ too high to be exact) and no matter the reason you want to put on that...
Maybe (but just maybe) the inclusion of Kinect was the reason... Maybe it was them being way too confident after the 360 success... Maybe something else...

At the end, that's why (in my oppinion) Sony got the head start and is now ahead after the domino effect for the whole generation.

The 28.7M (the path it took) vs 56M shows exactly that. Microsoft lost it because of the price point and now the domino effect is unstoppable; more players already own the Play Station Four and for the same price new comers will go with the most "popular" one. If you want to think it is because of the "incredible" values of the Play Station Four; fine but that's your oppinion. At the same starting price point it would have a been a completly different story in my oppinon...
