The initial presentation was very different. Pro had Cerny meekly mumble his way through the presentation, focusing on a tech unfamiliar to the masses and impossible to see on standard monitors & TVs. Repeatedly we were assured this was just a really nice PS4, you don't need one without a 4k display. MS was certainly not shy about describing this 'monster' as the second coming of Xbox - it's super compatible with your inferior old system, but damn is it better.
Also, before the Pro reveal many folks didn't think it would happen and/or would be disastrous. We've had over a year to mull over mid-gen refreshes (and have seen it have a mild effect on this gen), so gamers in general are much more at ease with the idea of the Xbox version.
Finally, yes, the Xbox fanboys are sick of eating Loaves in their console war. This is the latest in a long line of 'game-changers.' PS fanboys knew their 4k console dominance would be short-lived, so I think they sort of shrugged it off before MS could follow.
