$100 price cut easily. They'd lose almost as much money simply by selling the X1 than TF1 is expect to make in total revenue :P When including their other big deals, marketing costs and production of their own games, that would likely put the X1 in the red for the year (without even considering R&D costs that need to be made up). I imagine MS would rather have the X1 selling slightly less than being in the red again.
If they got rid of the Kinect though, they could easily cut the price by $100. Seeing as the PS4 is $400 with more powerful hardware (though taking a small hit), it's not unlikely that selling just the X1 without the Kinect for $400 would still bring in a small profit per unit (assuming they were efficient in their manufacturing deals).
