Not really for everyone. Infact that seems really really narrow.

I understand why there is no recore bundle, but I'm surprised at the lack of a Forza bundle.

The minecraft bundle is just strange to me. Minecraft is on every system and has been out for ever.. yet someone is going to buy an xbox one S for it?

This.

Minecraft, sports and Pew Pew Pew games. Perfect picture of the stereotypical Xbox line-up (the "dudebros console" stereotype), it lacks diversity and is not for everyone at all. Good bundles though.

The biggest exclusive
The biggest multiplat (beside CoD)
The biggest kids/family game

So what else do you expect? niche bundles? even a Horizon 2 Bundle, would be a niche bundle in the US

so they should make bundles, that won't even sell 50k units, for the sake of more "diversity"?
makes sense...

It's the same lineup of genres that sell by far the best on PS4. Sure, because of its worldwide appeal, the PS4 does get the niche Japanese titles, but it's not as if Sony is bundling those :)

Minecraft, sports, and shooters are pretty much as "something for everyone" as you are going to get in console bundles.

Prinz!!! Welcome back again my friend!

Anyway a few things....if you mean Gears it is the biggest RECENTLY released exclusive not the biggest exclusive.

Battlefield is not the biggest MP besides COD....not even close to it when you have stuff like Fallout, GTA etc. And actually yes they should have made a Forza in my opinion....it just got a great review and is part of the current best selling racing franchise so yes it should have got a bundle if you ask me.

Strong bundles, but the Minecraft bundle should include more given its a cheap game and it doesn't demonstrate the capabilities of the platform.

Perhaps it should be Minecraft and Forza 6.

Btw the Ps4 audience is way more "dudebro", than Xbox audience.
The Xbox audiece is more diverse.

The games, that sell the best on Ps4 are Shooter, Sport Games, Action Games and RPGS. The typical male gamer
Just because you have JRPGS you're not diverse. JRPGS are even more scewed towards male gamer

i don't know what you're talking about

Gears will be by far the best selling exclusive game this holiday season
BF1 will be by far the best selling multiplatform game (beside Cod) this holiday season

Ignoring the whole "dude bro" crap because that has never been an issue in my opinion.....when did the XB audience become more diverse than the PS audience?.....I mean the top sellers for both are pretty much identical....but the PS4 UNDOUBTEDLY gets a more diverse line up of games and more of them at that. Doesn't mean the XB is not diverese but it is not more diverse than the PS audience.

Also why are JRPGS scewed more thowards the male gamer? Where did you get that from or what makes you think that?

Oh my bad I read that wrong with Gears you said THE biggest exclusive not the best selling exclusive this Holiday so I apologize....even though I am not 100% it will be the best selling exclusive this Holiday but I do think it will do very well! WHich it deserves since it is an amazing game!

And as for BF1 I do not think it will be the best selling MP game besides COD this holiday at all. I mean TF2 just released, there is still Fifa, FFXV shoudl sell very well, Watchdogs 2 will be released so BF1 will have some VERY good competition so why you say it will be the best selling BY FAR outside of COD I can't agree with at all.
