Did Microsoft just do what Nintendo was too afraid to do?

According to threads all over this site, the price of the X1 is dropping like Nintendos stock price.

After the 3DS price incident, Nintendo seemed to lose its nerve and left the Wii U price alone. But Microsoft saw a problem and fixed it. Is it that simple?

I wish you would put a bit more...effort...or ..thought.... into your own threads....like the "Wouldn´t it be easier for Nintendo to just go third party ?!?" thread .

Nintendo cut the price 50$/ €  around August 2013 .

And no, 450$ is still too much for mass market success in this day and age for an objectively inferior system.

It has Kinect, which adds a bit of subjectivity into the inferiority debate. ;)
