I wonder if this means they are closer to the higher end of the supply scale (1.5M) than the lower end of it (800k-1M). And I know some Xbox fans probably like to think that's too high, constantly repeating 'but it's only in 13 countries, ' but the fact remains that the One is already being sold unofficially in many of the other countries. An official launch isn't going to change much.

I'm sure MS would love to drop the price by $100, while dropping the Kinect. Unfortunately, I don't think investors are going to be too happy if they do. Especially since all they did for didn't really change much, while eating into their profits. That and they probably have a huge supply of Kinects that wouldn't be sold, as their original plans had them selling it with the One for probably most, if not all, of its lifetime.
I think all investors are going to allow them to do, without making a huge stink, is dropping to $449 with Kinect.
