The goal shouldn't be NPD "wins" in the first place, it should be having an enticing enough product to sell at all times and be profitable, not just dumping in the loss leader months. Getting more units out there doesn't necessarily equate to success, especially if you had to do a firesale to get the product out there. Phil Spencer recently alluded as to why they're tracking Monthly Active Users now.  Running the risk of selling a console with a price cut and multiple giveaways is a huge risk if someone isn't active in the ecosystem.

So then wtf do you want ? which is it.  What dont you get, they cant compete with PS4 streight up.  They have to pick their battles and make sure they wins some.  

They need ndp wins to seem relevant, else they get nintendo'd into wiiu like irrelevence.  

They do fire sales and id even debate that since the deals between it and PS4 are always quite close.  But ill play they do em because for one it really works well for them and two the mass amount of software sales they achieve in the same time.   Them sticking to it tells me the attach ratios must be good and worth it else why continue the same losing strategy over and over.  

Jan - RE7
Feb - For Honor, HAlo wars 2 (ex)
March - Ghost Recon

They are fine, theyget all the big 3rd parties there is always someone active in its ecosystem.  Hell you are making it sound like the X1 is the freaking wiiu.   

wow what a lineup incredible....xd
