That makes no sense. If MS were to react to the PS4 Pro announcement, then why would they go for a 500$ price point? 

Why not?  I don't think $500 is a bad price for what it is.  If I were to speculate, more powerful hardware usually comes at a higher monetary price while trying to please the stockholders.  Again, just speculating.

It's not a bad price for what it is, but it is a bad price compared to the Pro. If they had built their system on the back of the Pro unveiling, they certainly wouldn't go for a way higher price point than the Pro had one year earlier. Phil Spencer's talk about it being a "premium product" is just the defense of that high price point in comparison to the cheaper Pro.
