This bodes well for the theory that the $329 and $349 holiday price cuts, which were heavily promoted, probably moved forward a fair number of baseline sales into Nov/Dec from future months. IOW : grabbing customers with the "buy it now!" lure, which means those same customers aren't going to buy another one in Jan/Feb/etc.
So the baseline may look unnaturally bleak for X1 even at $349 for a little while, then rebound to a more stable but somewhat mediocre month to month figure.
It's nearly a foregone conclusion that PS4 @ $399 will outsell X1 @ $349 with the games releasing in Q1, Q2, Q3. Q4 MS should be ready to compete again for the #1 spot.
