I just dont see why people think sales will be extraordinary.

No new software...and whilst the entry price has definitely lowered the console will now have fewer features than originally. Just having more features than the PS4 clearly wasn't differentiating previously, letalone now many of them are gone.

People are still placing a premium on price and are under the impression that a $399 XBO SKU somehow equals value parity with the PS4 for the average consumer. 

I don't agree with this either. Maybe if the SKU had been available at launch, but 7 months later? This is no magic bullet to change the status quo. 

It would have taken a $399 Titan Fall bundle to have the kind of effect some are expecting; a major, highly anticipated title launch paired with a lower price SKU. 

From a value perspective we disagree, the X1's library is more than a match for the PS4's now and in the future.

But yes I agree that through all their misteps Microsoft contributed to a very skewed start to the generation, and that this bundle is going to do little to change that.
