First shipments will all sell out. They're better off doing a Nintendo 3DS! Get as much money from it as they can now, then cut the price before next holiday season. Then start up the "games with gold" program with Xbox One games a couple of months before. Done.


The difference there is the 3DS did not have a competitive hand held released within a month of its release that was comparable and less expensive.  The 3DS struggled out of the gate and was a successor to the best selling hand held ever and was lone system in its market.  

The question between the X1 and PS4 is if the first 18 months of sales will dictate the following 5 years or not. Can Microsoft afford to be behind 2:1 ratio in even 6 months if they wish to sell more systems this coming generation?
