I'm sorry but we're veering into dreamland here. VM has not announced any pricing or content plans for the box so we can't start to compare its offering with Sky's. And if we did we'd need to include all costs including line rental etc not just marginal additional costs.
Why all this panic?

Sky's existing customer up-grade price for Sky Q Silver Bundle (cheapest offer) is £149 (£99 activation + £50 install) plus commitment to £56+ for next 12m, Hardly cheap. Virgin's existing customer offer is hardly incomparable to this, really.

Sure, new customer prices being quoted everywhere but.......
