I didn't hear this sort of thing when the PS4 was 100$ cheaper, so  whats the difference now? Most were waiting for the XB1 slim, so if anything it is quite a surprise. Had it just been a regular month with no slim release in site, sales would've been considerably better.

You keep making this point - and you keep missing the point. Several people have already pointed out the answer to you. Go back and read them.

Also the sales wouldn't have been better. They would have been worse. The price cuts and game bundles were because they were old stock. They were getting rid of old stock for the new stock.

If there was no slim release in site - they wouldn't have gotten rid of their old stock. There wouldn't have been discounts and game bundles. And they would not have sold as many.

Exactly. Once the holidays are over and both base systems are $299, XBO sales are going slump once again.  We'll have to see if MS is quick to drop the price to $249, yet again.
