The problem with those hidden price cuts (a free game is basically a $60 dollars price cut), the problem is that even if that it's not an official price cut to reassure owners and publishers (because Microsoft pay the publishers for each free game and it boost the NPD numbers), people will only want to buy XB1 at each new discounts.
- Titanfall free game in XB1 bundle
- Madden free game in XB1 bundle
- Free game of your choice during the Destiny launch.
People aren't stupid and will wait to buy an XB1 until the next discount which will be Sunset overdrive bundle and after that probably the Halo MCC bundle and COD bundle. In europe it'll be the Fifa bundle.
Also it's really expensive for Microsoft, most game they sell to customers they basically pay the game for them, it's not a good solution for the long term. And from the start even the kinectless XB1 console is even a bit more expensive than the standalone PS4! Sony could have even more room to do price cuts than Microsoft without kinect!
