Like when they bundled the Kinect or that time when they made that god-awfull DRM announcment to the public?

OT: there are way more things that can affect console prices, and the processor is just one of them. Hell, I would argue that currency devaluation has a higher saying in the price then processor manufacturing costs.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft is run by engineers so I do dare say that they are smarter than the rest of us ... 

Currency devaluation may be a thing but have our wages increased significantly too ? 

The engineers might be geniuses but its not them that decide things.  if you ever worked for a major corp youd know just how dumb the top brass can be.  Ms X1 lauch proved that the people at the top are quite out of touch and made simply moronic decisions.
