Nothing to see here, move along...
That was my impression of the OP. But, one cannot but slow down to look at the disaster as it happens.
I disagree that the XB1 is in a dilemma of any kind, other than launching at the wrong price to begin with. But that is not a current dilemma. The only dilemma that i could think that it is in that can not be fixed with $$$ is that fact that Sony has the real mindshare everywhere outside of the US. So, Sony will always be able to tout sales numbers that are 2 times that of the XB1 for 8-10 months of the year. I am sure M$ knows that and has learned to accept it as it is.
It is near the end of the end....
