What if.... Microsoft dropped their price at launch to $399?

2014 will be the year for new skus and price cuts.

Right now X1 preorders are for the $500 model and MS would be stupid to announce a $399 price and watch those preorders switch to that sku.

Give the kinect SKU a head start over the kinectless one, and cash in on the early adopters.....not that cashing in implies something negative as I think kinect is worth the extra $100.

Like I said in the OP, the sku wouldn't change.  It would still come with Kinect 2.0 in the box.
