A cut to 299 might not help X1 much

No, its a justfiable purchase if you feel the amount you pay is worth the money. I got mine at launch and I'm not complaining because I've used my X1 for couple hundred hours and have plenty to play.

$250 would be a bargain for a game console with that power, HDD, Bluray, etc.

I am saying that in my opinion it would take a substantially lower price for most people to justify that kind of inferiority.

Most people don't buy consoles at launch price. That's not an opinion, just a fact.

Anyhow, there is no urgency to drop it to $250. A lot of people seem to feel $350 is justified.

This remains to be seen.  A lot of people bought the X1 at $500 initially and then watched as very few followed after them.
