Because it's not "just a $50 cheaper price point" from where I'm standing.
Right now we're talking about a system that is selling for $329 in a huge amount of places with two games, and sometimes extra bonus deals like gift cards depending on what you're looking at. I mean Microsoft store that shit with another free game on top, it just no limit to how low they're willing to go this month.
PS4 for the most part - with ebay exception - has been $399, with TLOU and GTAV. Which isn't a bad deal and I think Sony was right keeping it at that price given their financial situation and the fact the PS4 was already selling quite decently.
So we're actually talking a $70 difference really at minimum, and stores are still throwing the kitchen sink in with it during Black Friday week. When you start adding in the way so many stores are incentivizing the Black Friday Xbox purchase - what a doorbuster really should mean - you're talking gaps that can range from $70-$130.
Couple that with a more compelling AAA exclusive lineup on average for the Holiday season, and I think they definitely have what it takes to match Sony's gap in September
We shall see.

I've been a PS4 owner and happy since launch, but if I was shopping this weekend in terms of select Black Friday Deals and didn't own either...I could pick up an Xbone with two multiplats I wanted for more than £90 cheaper than the PS.
Considering the XB1 launched in the UK for £70 odd more here than the PS4, thats INSANE. I would have definitely bit if I were in the market
