Haha they are on track for 30m total. If that is ok with them (And it might be for profit reasons) then sure. But if they want 50m+ it needs to be $200 NOW.

By what standard are they on track for 30m sales? It outsold the 360 last year (2014 vs. 2006), and if the holidays go anything like they did last year will outsell it this year too (2015 vs. 2007).
Now, I don't think the Xbox One will outsell the 360 lifetime, but the Xbox One should be nearly at 20 million by the end of this year. You think it will only do another 10 for the rest of it's life? That's less than a year and a half of sales.
This also all assumes they drop the price to $299 this holiday. Which they might, but it seems unlikely.
Edit: I'd also like to point out that dropping the disc drive would likely hurt sales more than the price drop would help them. Forcing people to buy digital AND hurt it's hard earned reputation as the media center of the consoles? Bad plan.
