What price cuts / fire sales? There's been a Kinect-less SKU released for $100 less (whereas Kinect standalone retails for $150 separately). The X1 would have launched at $399 anyway without Kinect. And those "fire sales" you're referring to are a couple of bundles that offered "free" downloadable-only copies of games like Titanfall and Madden, and the latest promotion is that you get a $60 game with X1 purchase until Sept 13th. Back in the day we used to call these "pack-in" games. Now all of a sudden including a game with the purchase of a console is the equivalent to a "fire sale".
But you're right in that X1 is going to have a tough time competing with all the PS4 "exclusives" this holiday... like Destiny. No wait, um, COD. No that's not it... wait what's PS4's big exclusive title this holiday season again?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
