They can't sell one model, why would you have 3?

So what do you want them to do? Sell nothing? Can't please everybody on this planet.

But "why would you habe 3": because of having options? Just a guess so that you can target different people. Yes, I know, nobody wants to buy that crappy system but still having options can't be bad. Or wait, no: it has to be bad because... Well.

Somebody's triggered.

It just makes sense if your product isn't selling great to keep the options down. Of course great for us and the XB1 is a good console but unless MS think this will shift the tide (it won't) and they can sustain 3 different models and whatever bundles they decide to have, they are going to have a lot of stock stuffing the channels. If they want to drop a new bundle they will have to clear some of that stock out of the channels which will lead to more fire sales.

All in all the slim will provide a boost in sales but after the honeymoon period, it will just drop back to the level of sales pre-slim. I don't think it will sell enough to have 3 different models, but opinions hey!
