MS definitely won't raise the price back to $399, that would be insane.
More scary for MS : the no-game vanilla $399 PS4 is back on top of $349 double-game AC bundle X1, and has been for a little bit now. No other SKUs even close, the next one being Destiny PS4 waaay up there in the irrelevant rankings.
So once the MCC / price-cut bump passed, PS4 is back on top for day to day sales. Price for a PS4 + game = $459, price for an X1 + game(s) = $349, and PS4 is still outselling X1. Now THAT is panic stations, as the entire $349/MCC bump for early November can be erased on BF alone if the stock is available.
I expected X1 to take November NPD, but now I'm more like 60/40 PS4 takes it by 5-15%. Globally it will be laughable.
