Microsoft is in a position of "it's now or never"

Microsoft did this exact same thing back when the original xbox was struggling. I remember console + 4 games for some rediculously low price back in the day. I guess nobody had to follow suit back then though.

Don't you need two to tango in a price war?

Yeah so that is so not accurate.

Pretty much had to back then.  I mean if it wasn't for Halo I don't think Xbox would have survived past the first gen.  

Yeah, I mean come on! 49.99$ is a decent deal!

Which is a shame because it actually had a gluttony of great exclusives outside of halo.

cheapest generation confirmed.

What war??? Ps4 is outselling x1 WW easily even with x1 at 349, and now even the US acording to a major retailer on GAF:

Well, guys - I wouldn't really count the month as already spoken for yet. Honestly, our districts had the big explosion of XB1 sales right at the beginning, but now, the PS4 is selling more than the XB1 again. And it's not even neck and neck for daily/weekly sales, the PS4 is selling just outright better again. And we're receiving a lot of questions about the PS4 bundles for BF, discussions about how early people are allowed to line up to be able to get those bundles...

GTA V is also selling definitively better on the PS4. We had a big rush of people picking up the console with that game. The price cut helped convince a lot of people that were on the fence right at the beginning of the month, but at this point... We'll have to see exactly how BF goes. I can't call it either way.
