If MS brings the price back up and keep it up for a long period of time then they're screwed for 2015.

It doesn't look like MS has anything except for Halo 5 for winter of next year which I think sucks for XB1 owners. I'm sure MS will hopefully announce something good at E3 but probably wont release until 2016 at the earliest.

Their lineup for the 2nd half of the year is fine, Halo 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, Forza 6 (heavily rumored), Gears Collection (hinted at by a reliable source, Shinobi), Quantum Break. It's the first half of the year where the lineup is inferior to the competition, all they have exclusive wise for the 1st half of the year are Ori, Screamride, and a port of State of Decay, all good exclusives imo but none are as popular as what the competition has, they're going up against 2 AAA blockbusters from Sony in the 1st half of the year, Bloodborne and The Order: 1886. MS needs to be at $350 in Q1 and Q2 more than ever in order to compensate for their inferior exclusive lineup.

Ah I knew I was forgetting some games. Thanks for the update!  Yea it seems PS4 has their games well spread out for 2015 where XB1 is kind of compress into the last half of the year.

I definitely agree with you about the price needing to be at $350 for Q1 & 2.  If the MS raises the price back up as mentioned then it almost feels like buyers should just wait til after E3 to purchase a XB1 as MS will have announce bundles or price cuts etc.
