The DS4 acts as a wand and the pseye does not cost 80euro (niether does a pseye, wand, and game bundle)and if you think ms will be the only one with a pack in then i dont know what to tell you.

So if the PSeye 4 add on is 59 dollars and MS gives you a 60 dollar game, then I would believe that the X1 with pack in game and Kinect is cheaper.
As for using the DS4 as a wand, There is a reason why Sony did not use the DS3 design for the move. Its a very clumsy design to operate in that manner. Using 2 hands for a wand type of setup is not going to make the experience one you want to use often.
As for if MS will be the only one with a pack in game, unless Sony respond then yes thats what it is. Do you think such moves can be countered at a moment notice. Do you think with preorders already doing well for Sony they even thought they needed to go this route. For Sony to counter this move and include a pack in, they would need to take another hit to their pockets which isn't something they even need to do at this stage. I doubt they will pack in one of their games because it would kill that as a revenue stream.
So no, I do not think Sony will counter. I do not think Sony needs to. Right now MS is the one behind and they need to win over EU more than Sony needs to block this move. At this point, MS has the money to make such moves and they are in a position of weakness. If the CBOAT rumor is true it appears MS is trying to get multiple exclusive type deals in every major market. I am hoping they do not forget about NA.
