No this is what happened...Anyone who works in management for a major retailer will tell you why.
A large stock of xboxs were sold to major retailers intially such as walmart bestbuy and target. However these store managers over estimated how much the XB1 was going to sell. Once they realized sales were not going to be strong...they needto clear out their inventory on hand ...hence the markdown sales. Any half intelligent big box store manager knows when to stop buying a product that isn't selling, because and he also knows that loosing 50 bucks to clear an xbox unit is worth it when you can use the shelf space or just show less on your inventory. The exact same thing happened with gamecube and wii U...retailers with stuff with that crappy things.
