I think it's time to address the elephant in the room. It seems like the newest XB1 price drop is a bust, and seems to be working against the console. I think it really comes down to MS just plain devaluing the brand. There are retailers already selling Xbox One under retail post price drop, and Gamestop has the $100 trade-in deal toward Xbox One already. Before too long, the console will be in dangerous range of its predecessor's current price.
I think the crap hit the fan when it looked like The Division wasn't going to do for Xbox what Destiny did for Playstation. Maybe all of Microsoft's promotions and giveaways have probably made the general gaming public suspicious to the longevity of the console. That's why I wonder if they'll bother with an upgraded X1, or just move on to a new type of hardware altogether.
