If ppl are willing to pay over $400 for the low power switch, $500 for the most powerful console ever seems like a no brainer. 

You do know there is like zero correlation between the 2.

Glad you asked! 1. Pay for major exclusives like back in the 360 days. Microsoft is not near broke. They could fund games like Lost Oddysey and Blue Dragon again, get back Call of Duty, and stop putting their games on PC and have true exclusives. They could make back the money and more with the game sales. 2. Invest into first party studios more. Bring back Fable. Make new IP's. Don't let go of talent like Bungie. 3. Make sure that every bit of juice is squeezed out of those 6 teraflops for even 3rd party games. Gradually move away from Xbox One S backwards compatibility. Maybe after one year. Have X exclusives that can take full advantage of it's power. 

1. That will depend on whether said studio would want to have their game funded by MS as opposed to a variety of better publishers. 

2. This is going to take a long time. It wont have any affect on the One X. 

3. That is entirely up to 3rd parties, and 3rd parties arent going to overly optimise for a console that is designed at a niche audience, and part of a brand that is is being outsold quite steadily by PS.

 

1. They might have to lose money to regain territory, but I think it is necessary for revitalizing the Xbox brand. Then when in a strong position again, they can return to more profitable times. 

2. It will take time, but if MS has stopped with new generations, this investment will pay off in the future and possibly save the Xbox brand. 

3. Once again, Microsoft's deep deep pockets could remedy this situation. They could pay for optimizing games for Xbox One X. It could very well make the Xbox a success again.
