The problem isn't price. I know it's hard for some to believe but maybe people just don't want an X1.

So increasing the price would have no impact?

"People just don't want an X1" isn't a solution. MS is making moves to stimulate sales and they have been successful.

There isn't much they can do or willing to do to put X1 sales over PS4. But finding ways to boost sales is still worth doing.

I never said. MS can and should try whatever they can. My point is that price isn't the issue, neither is marketing. It's just that the console itself is undesirable to the mainstream, especially in Europe. 

Can they change this? Maybe, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Pricecuts will obviously help but that's not enough. Hell, I'd wager a more expensive PS4 would still do better since it's currently the "it" console to have.

It's much like the PS3 situation last gen. No matter what Sony did, no matter the amount of quality games they put out, they got manhandled in NA. But where the PS3 has EU and Japan, the X1 has nothing.

And again, that isn't a solution for MS. "Europe doesn't like us, oh well lets give up!" Instead MS will make changes so the X1 is more desireable to Europe.

A small price cut won't have a significant impact, but it can't hurt either. The Fifa bundles will probably do more to move hardware. Hence, that's just one many things MS will do to stimulate sales throughout the life of the console.

It doesn't really matter if X1 is the leader in any region. The 360 wasn't the most popular platform in Europe, but it still moved a ton of units there.

Basically your stance is if you aren't the leader, you're a failure. That simply isn't how business works.
