Even if we assume all of the pre-1973 mass-produced desktops from HP and Wang don't count as "mass consumable items" because of their corporate-sized MSRPs, the Compucorp 324G Scientist had a similar list price to an assembled MITS 7400, it was programmable, and it beat the 7400 to market by about a year. The 324G was also a much more successful product than the 7400. Without niggling over each machine's exact feature set, I'd say that the 7400 was pretty much in line with everything else in the $400 price range at the time.
