Might as well wait, with all these price cuts, this one price cut it'll likely go lower eventually, after quite some time.
They must have millions of X1s sitting on shelves still. They shipped 3.9 million by the end of Dec. Which means they barely sold through their Dec. stock. Assuming production of 1 million a month, there's 3 million X1s in warehouses and on shelves.
No wonder there's been so many desperate prices still well above the PS4 and what's worse therefore entirely predictable is, Ps4 is still selling better.
At this point, no one will buy an X1 at full price. MS will have to continue eating the loss by adding a game for free, or continue taking a hit with these price cuts making a small profit on hardware. Surely not what they wished for, but I can't say they didn't deserve it.

Fixed that right up for you, don't mention it!

No, there's been multiple price cuts, and multiple bundled games (thrown in for free). This is certainly what I would call "desparate", how else would you describe something like this?
This bundle is the same price as the base PS4. MS might be making a small profit on the hardware at full price, but throwing in Titanfall for free costs them money (they have to pay EA) and I find it highly doubtful that they're still making a profit with a price cut this huge.
It's dropped what, 70 pounds in 4 months? Yea, I doubt a further price cut will take that long, especially if sales continue to be this bad.
