Will the Xbox One S have a prolonged improvement on Xbox sales?

Will the Xbox One S have a prolonged improvement on Xbox sales? It seems to me it might, because:

- reviews suggest the consensus is that the S is much more attractive

- it's coming bundled right out of the gate (Halo 5, Madden, Gears 4), even for the $299 USD SKU

- it's one of the cheapest UHD BD players on the market

That last point could be a big benefit. The PS2 benefitted from being one of the cheapest DVD players on the market, and the PS3 benefitted from being one of the cheapest BD players. The importance of physical media has declined somewhat, but the Xbox One S being one of the cheapest UHD players available (on top of all the other things it can do) can only help it. How much of a sustained uptick do you think the Xbox One S represents for the Xbox One platform, if any?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its also had some decent free games tossed in as well on promos.  I saw the 2tb with 4 free games thrown in for $399

If they do promos like this for the $299 version it will likely do very well
