Why downplay Amazon? They're not a perfect way of gauging sales but over the past year we've seen that, at least in hardware, they offer a good indication of the general trends.

 

The X1 being that low is not good for MS. I think that $399 will do nothing so let's say that happens. What does MS do? Another price cut? More bundles? Give up?

Now there is the real question!  I always thought unbundling Kinect would do nothing when the PS4 is cheaper and better supported.  Honestly I see 2 options for MS if Xbox One continues to flounder:

1) Continue on their current path and be happy with 30-40m sold LTD.  Probably cancel the Xbox Division, spin it off or sell it.

2) Dig in and get aggressive.  Drop the price by $50 this holiday season and bundle Halo or Sunset.  Start buying up studios that can pump out great games and prepare for the next gen.

neither will work or happen. 30-40m sold ltd very likely.

still wouldn't count them out. Sony makes 1 mistake, and they take advantage like they did last gen.

And still come in third?  MS couldn't outsell them even at their worst.
