They won't do another major hit like that. It doesn't make sense in the long run, especially when you're only matching the price of competition... i.e. not giving yourself a distinct edge.
X360 was $100 or more less than PS3 all the time and they made money back up in a lot of software / Live sales. Xbone does not have either luxury. It would be financial disaster to lose a lot on this.
Now they can likely make small profit from hardware and achieve price parity allowing them to focus on other incentives like entertainment options beyond gaming and/or good bundles.
