Even holding inventory costs money. They know where their bread is buttered, and it’s on software after they’ve already sold the hardware. If they could charge less and get an Xbox in your home, a pathway to you becoming a Game Pass subscriber, they’d do it. I think this is just trying not to bleed any money at all as they slowly exit the business of selling a traditional console, paving the way for making pre-built PCs with the Xbox branding at a price and scale that matches the market’s appetite.
