to quote myself,

"if you stick to your orignal spec and the yeilds are currently low the intial shipments will have expensive chipsets (~chip cost = (wafer cost)/((chips per waffer)*(yeild%)) ) and probably lower stock at launch.  that cost will quickly come down in price when the yeild issues are figured out in what i'll assume is a few months time."   post

 

so evidence in support of low yeild:
     3M vs. 4.2M; launch publically cut from 21 to 13 territories  - lower stock
     $500 vs. $400 (+kinect but -raw power)  - expensive chipset

evidence in dispute:
     a pic of unsold xbones

 

...i'll let the reader decided.
