I think the all digital Xbone came way too late, and was priced too high. If they sell it at $99 with 3 months of Gamepass this holiday season, it might do something. That would also seem to be consistent with their push to increase services revenue, without care for hardware sales. They'd get more people into the family with the low upfront cost, then hope to extract $100+ per year from them with services.
The same thing might be even more effective in 2020, with the launch of Halo: Infinite.
In any case, I'm curious to see what everyone does over the next few years as some companies focus on traditional business models, while others move in a different direction. I suspect that we'll see a lot of different ideas thrown at the wall. It may be a while before we know which ones stick.
