Had sporadic supply in NW London. Now sold out.

If this doesn't run out of steam could we see an early X Box One price cut to 399 bucks to try and stem the tide ?

A price cut for the Xbox One would be of conventional thinking. But I think the context here would be that there have already been rumblings of investors wanting to can the Xbox. So a price cut this early in the game would only add more fuel to the fire. With the Xbox One Microsoft is in a catch 22 here. 

Sure, PS4 is lapping XBO and WiiU in sales but is the XBO really doing bad? Its not selling PS4 numbers but it seems to be doing just fine over all. You don't drop out of a race simply because someone started off faster than you. You stay the course.

Therefore, Microsoft needs to retain its current pricing to help ensure minimal loss per unit sold while still looking less appealing pricewise to the less expensive PlayStation 4. Catch 22.
