The Xbone didn't flop because of its $500 price and the PS4 being priced lower - it flopped because on top of all that, games ran better on the PS4 to boot. If it performed better and cost more, and if the gap was noticeable (as it was at Xbone/PS4 launch) then I think it would have gone the other way easily..
X1s launch failed on many fronts (I'm still amazed how bad the OS was when I got mine.) I wouldn't say performance was really the problem. (Well, except on racing games. There...I have no doubt. Sucks driving a really fast car when the visuals can't keep up...don't know if the PS4 has that problem or not, but probably not as bad.)
I'm glad they found a way to keep the overall platform relevant cause on a straight hardware comparison they certainly bombed it.
