The short answer is: It depends on how it sells.
Canon isn't going to lower the price much if they don't have to. The 6dII was really a huge disappointment and almost universally panned. It was and is kind of a crappy upgrade from the 6d.
I could see Canon doing a bundle with the basic adapter for 1999, but I don't see the price going lower unless they have really poor sales - which I highly doubt.
Personally, the Sony A73 would need to drop in price under 1500 for me to consider it.
I think the EOS R has a tough market. It's pretty much what a 6DII should have been but I think that moment has passed for many potential 6DII buyers. Many will have left Canon, some would have got the 5DIV and some would have reluctantly purchased the 6D.
In my opinion though it's what the 6DII should have been in 2017 and against the A7III and Z6 it's not a very compelling option. I guess they are relying on EF lens owners?
Most buyers are not doing the type of complicated calculus that you just did, comparing all sorts of models from different brands and times.
The largest target market for this mirrorless is indeed the large existing Canon user base, in a shrinking camera market.
And contrary to the myths of the internet, most people do not switch brands...it's too costly in terms of money and time and hassle.
The way most prospective customers of the new EOS R will judge is this: Oh, look, Canon has put out a mirrorless. Will it work with my EF lenses? Is this a good and compelling product? And the answer is yes.

This poll would suggest otherwise
A poll with a total of 421 votes consisting of only DPR voters is hardly representative of the global camera market.
Well, I think it’s likely a better representation than one random forum members personal thoughts on the subject right?
Probably.
Unless it's your opinion or mine. And even your opinion may be suspect.
