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!

MS is to decide, not forum users without any knowledge in business. Also I think that MS is releasing it because it is also a benefit for them, probably it's cheaper to produce. Anyone thinking that the slim alone will be the reason for an ongoing sale increase will be disappointed.

O you're playing that card to downplay my opinion while having your own? Gotchya!
To me it's clear that they are stuggling to sell 2 models. Look at the fire sales just recently just to clear a bit of space for the Slim. Look at the constant price cuts they've had to get rid of old bundles.
And of course it's cheaper to produce, it's one on the main reasons to release a mid-gen version of a console.
