Given what we now know about X1 sales after the $399 SKU launched, and how low the numbers have fallen, do you think Microsoft will react again this year and adjust to give us an official $349 or $299 option?
A lot of people thought they would never drop Kinect, and that $499 would stay the entry price for the X1 at least through 2014, but we know that was wrong of course now.
Another possibility is more aggressive bundling (like we recently saw with the 399 XB1 + MCC + Destiny German bundle).
I know that many still believe that Destiny will give X1 a bump, but personally I think September will be an absolute blowout that shows the X1 losing at least 2 to 1, and probably in excess of 3 to 1. If we get those numbers come September NPD results that come out mid-October, I could see a surprise announcement of :
$349 X1 Bundle, Halo MCC, 6 months free XBLG. The question then becomes : will it even have an impact?
