Why is everyone talking about the Xbox price difference since last year but neglecting to talk about the 2 free games?

The Xbox One's current situation is the $150 price difference from last year combined with 2 free games ($100 value).

Because Xbox games are pretty bad, so their value is effectively $0.


Well Rol, if you find it for that little I may get one.

The Xbox One's current situation is the $150 price difference from last year combined with 2 free games ($100 percieved value).

Others are forgetting ps4 + tlou + ps+ for 400, that's just how it works.

I think only Amazon is doing that deal. Everywhere else, it's just PS4 + TLOU. The AC XB1, on the other hand, is available in all retailers.

Still more than 1 year ago, 400 with no games. 

Now is giving 2 games on Amazon, these aren't good signs. Even with new incentives is down almost 100k yoy. 

See? I can twist the other way as well.

Okay....? It's not hard for a system to be up YOY when it did crappy the previous year. It is, however, difficult for a system to be up YOY when it had immense post-launch hype the previous year. As soon as stock was replenished, *swoosh* gone.

It'll be interesting to see if PS4 will still be down YoY next month. This way we'll be able to recognize better the signs.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
