What can Microsoft do to compete with the PS4 and Switch this holiday?

I think the Xone S and Scorpio are meant for a different audience to begin with. The PS4 is going to hit the $200 mark so it has to compete with that. On its own the Xone will lose from PS4 but if the Xone gets a bundle of $200 and 2/3 older games while the PS4 only gets a $225 bundle with one game, probably Horizon it stands a chance to win US. Sony did a bundle with GTA 5 and The last of us remastered and that did great during the holidays.

Yeah a Horizon with a PS4 slim bundle is pretty likely and I do think they will bring back the Star Wars bundle back for Battlefront 2. Since they would pretty be crazy not to espically with the release of The Last Jedi just a month later. 

So I am putting my money on a an exclusive star wars marketing deal for Xone and Battlefront II. That will help in the US since Sony will have a great holiday in Europe with GT sport. I have no idea how they can compete in Europe this year though. The Switch will do decently in Europe and good in the rest of the world. PS4 will probably sell good everywhere but NA being relatively the weakest market. Xone will sell good in UK and USA and not so good in the rest if the world.
