Well, VGChartz says it's true, check their latest X360 vs. X1 Gap Chart article. As regards the trend, all bets are off with the Xbox One S. This has the potential the most significant mid-cycle refresh in a long time. Possibly ever. The PS2 benefitted from being one of the cheapest DVD players on the market. The PS3 benefitted from being one of the cheapest BD played on the market. Might the Xbox One S benefit from being one of the cheapest UHD players on the market? Add in that it's slightly more powerful, significantly smaller, better on your power bill, offers the benefit of an integrated IR blaster for those that don't have a Kinect, a 2TB option, the refreshed controller with Bluetooth, that awesome Gears 4 special edition, etc., and there's a lot to tempt even existing X1 owners to upgrade (perhaps trading in their existing unit or whatever). I've bought a regular 2TB, and preordered a Gears 4 console. And if you're new to this gen of consoles, I suspect that this is a more tempting option vs. the PS4 than the original X1 was. So, like I say, all bets are off IMO.
