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

   After Microsoft has done so many 180's in the last 2 months, I am not sure anyone really knows which direction they face now.  Let's say they did one more that would actually bring some real value to the gamers right away.  If they dropped their price on the XBOX ONE on launch day to $399 would you change your mind if you hadn't planned to get one before?  It would still come with Kinect 2.0(not even required to plug in any longer) and everything as seen in the "unboxing" video by Major Nelson. 

A poll on this is too easy, I am more interested  to hear from people who really had decided to pass on the XBOX ONE after the reveal at E3 .  After all the changes(180's) and this IMAGINARY price drop.  What would still hold you back?

So they take an even larger hit on their bottom line? That would not be a sound business practice AKA they'd be pulling a SONY.

Would I possibly buy one? It'd register on my radar better but here are some facts as to why I can't get excited about the X180.

1) It has a Kinect. Fact is I don't like kinect style games or really any of the kinect features. I don't want to get up and move around, dance around, or otherwise gyrate my body for any reason whatsoever. I do not want to talk to my console to make it do shit either.

2) As an RPG gamer the XBOX brand has been an utter failure. This is a Japanese related issue where MS just can not seem to get traction. Their WRPG offering has been ok but for the most part the Playstation brand has been able to keep up there as well. There just are not enough exclusive WRPG games for XBOX consoles to justify giving up on JRPG games.

3) Despite the number of 180s they've pulled they've already given me doubts. How long before they weedle some of these features back in? Maybe not the current gen, but what about next gen?
