Sales in mainland Europe have been low because they don't like the current price and the library thus far is not compelling for this region and the games that have arrived can be bought either in superior versions of PS4 or are likely picked up by owners of 7th gen machines since most multiplats are still cross-gen efforts. Kinect has also been blocking out sales, it has become a burden rather than a selling point and only serves to jack up the price. My point is that seeing a drop at this time is not shocking in the least. Besides, from where I'm sitting, I can only find numbers suggesting the One did about 11-12k in the last two weeks before this, that's a 55-60% drop and a huge one so saying the numbers were "very similar" is an exaggeration. The announcement clearly had a massive effect here.
Kinect was sabotaging the entire product; things should start looking up now that they made it optional, it's probably the best move they ever made with the One since they conceived it.
