The 1TB Xbox Series X with a disc drive is currently discounted by $50 to $599 at multiple retailers including Amazon and Walmart.
While it is a $50 discount on the current price Microsoft last year increased the price of the Xbox Series X and S twice last year in the US, which means this discounted price is still $100 more expensive on the launch price of the Xbox Series X.
The standard Xbox Series X increased from $499 to $649, the Xbox Series X Digital from $449 to $599, and the Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Special Edition from $600 to $800. The Xbox Series S 512 increased from $299 to $399, and the Xbox Series S 1TB from $349 to $449.

Retailers clearing old inventory that didn't sell during the holidays. They will probably restock even less during this year (especially if MS raise prices again due to the Ram situation), might even be another Costco situation coming up where some retailers won't even stock it on shelves this year.
It's also a good opportunity to shift hardware quickly while they still have contracts for low-priced DRAM and NAND, once those contracts need to be re-negotiated, we will see price rises and I would imagine an implosion of console sales rates... So they will need to push sales of services and software to create platform growth long term.
We are already seeing an implosion of sales on PC due to RAM and NAND prices... Unfortunately hardware manufacturers on PC don't tend to lock in contractual component prices for long periods of time. (Which is both a good thing and a bad thing for volatile commodity prices.)
But when $280 AUD RAM is now $2,000 AUD... Can't absorb that kind of increase.
