You are making efforts to rationalize bad decisions of a company you like. Over the last two weeks it should have become clear to you that Microsoft is about to drive against a wall and today's announcement of the launch price sealed the deal. Yet here you are and tell us that everything is okay.
What will the kowenicki of 2014 be like? Will he tell us that the X1 sells well for its price? That the X1 doesn't sell better, because the market is too stupid to understand its value? That people only hate the X1, because they are too poor to afford one?

I'm not rationalising it, I'm just stating a mathematical fact.
X1 will be sold out in the US and UK at launch. you dont think so?

Math is not welcome here, people are busy hating! How dare they charge $500 for a console without even announcing something like Ridge Racer? Riiiiiidge racer!

Fact is Xbone isn't competing with PS3 or 360. It's competing with 2 cheaper consoles. 360 struggled to outsell PS3 when PS3 was more expensive than 360. You think Xbone is not going to find it tough to sell against a cheaper PS4?
Sold out at launch is meaningless unless they ship a large number of consoles. If Xbone's yield problems are true then MS will probably end up not shipping all that many units in 2013, so sold out, yeah, but hiigh sales? I doubt it.
