Microsoft pushing EXTREMELY HARD with marketing the one X

You are right on price movement but considering how much tailoring and high end components (like the copper chamber) they put inside the X1X I don't think they plan or can reduce the price a lot.

On the case of the games, you are right. MS have promissed to increase 1st party several times and it never showed up.

The Vapor Chamber would indeed be more costly... But not as much as you think it would be over a typical heat-pipe heatsink. Even some mid-range GPU's selling for $250 AUD used to use those vapor chamber coolers.

Yeah. Microsoft has been laughable on the games front, even during the Xbox 360 days.
It felt like they started to make inroads and then the investment and game development imploded which has damaged the brand somewhat.
If Microsoft makes a promise about games, I would take the approach of "See it, then I will believe it.".

The vapor chamber was only one of the examples, for the size and specialization on the console and expected sales I don't see it hitting 200 USD even in 4 or 5 years for it to be entry level in next gen.

So on next gen with simpler HW delivering much more power I don't think it will make sense to keep X1X as the low end. Just like PS3 couldn't be as low as PS4 is hitting now even after 7 years.
