I'd discontinue the standalone 4gb Then somehow manage a $199 to 4gb with kinect that would flyyyyy (which represents a $50 kinect reduction and a $50 360 cut) add on top a 250gb with Kinect at $299. plus a standalone 250gb at $229 ambitious but massive over the holidays if they pulled it off.

Saying something is affordable doesn't mean that it serves their percieved interests in implementing it. Of all the current console makers Microsoft has the best long term case for having slim margins on hardware because their business model is the most robust of the three in terms of gathering revenue and the current Xbox 360 profit results are proof of this. The entry price of the Xbox 360 could be $129, 149, 169 or even $199 depending on their goals and priorities by the end of the year. We simply cannot easily tell ahead of time what they might prioritise so their actions aren't easy to predict.
Tease.
