To have something to put their Xboxes in.

Also, I know it's unethical, but they're probably buying Day One boxes, so that at some point they can sell their not Day One consoles for extravagant prices by saying they are Day One Xbox Ones and they've got the boxes to prove it. That would probably net them a couple of hundred dollars profit next year and even more later in the gen.

consoles only go down in price after a while i dont think people will be buying a used xbox one out of the open day one box 1000$. when sealed ones are going for 600$ right now.

Like everything else the Day One version will become a Collector's Item ( which is why you would design a Day One Console in the first place ), then down the line they'll shove Xbox Ones Consoles in the box that aren't Day One consoles and sell them as Day One consoles and they'll be able to turn quite a hefty profit off of some customers that don't really know what a Day One console is supposed to look like.  Just look at the asking prices for some of the different color Gameboy Advances and DSs on there.
