Yup and that's a new perception problem MS has created. This thread already provides enough evidence that people expect it to keep dropping like that. Putting it back up to $400 in Januari is going to kill sales, and any bundle over $300 next holiday will look too expensive.

worked fine for the x360

after 299 for the big one and 199 for the 4gb / arcade model it never gets cheaper again if we talk about msrp.
it doest not hurt in every case. and right now its not devalueing. we should not listend to all the "if buy if its 250 bucks" shouts in the internet. thats mostly the same people how said "i buy if its 350 bucks" at launch, when the xb1 was 500 bucks only

i think we will see an arcade version, somewehere later in the lifecyle. maybe digital only, and/or only 64gb flash storage and games will be installed at external drives). that one will be the cheap entry in the 8th xbox generation

The Xbox one is in a totally different situation as the 360. Last gen the Wii got away with raising it's price in the UK, same this gen with PS4 in Canada. The Xbox One is in PS3's shoes now or actually worse.

A digital only version is possible, doubt we'll see a 64gb flash version. Might as well stick a drive in there as 64GB flash is not going to get you anywhere. The system already reserves 138GB of the 500GB hdd for the OS.
