But why not? It was estimated in 2013 it cost 380$ to make an XB1. Its been 3 years, and the XB1's hardware is already dated. I'd say its below 300$ at this point, so what exactly is the issue? Software has always been the place to make money, but its clear Microsoft isn't thinking that way. Following the PS4's price has been a disaster thus far, and it shows. They where flat in 2015 in terms of sales compared to 2014, and this year is showing the same picture. 2017 will likely be a large decline, and after that it'll be selling like garbage. Also no third party marketing deals and games going to PC = no relevance to market.

Good points. I guess we'll just have to wait it out. This could be the peak year (unless $299 does wonders for them - which is possible).

It wouldn't surprise me if the peak year was last year for XB1. 2016 is currently lower than 2014 & 2015 were plus I don't see the huge fire sales of 2014 happening or Crackdown/Gears being able to do more than Halo/Tomb Raider did in 2015.
It's possible that it will be up but wouldn't surprise me if it isnt.
