As PS4 sells out German retailer makes drastic cuts to Xbox One; introduces cheapest ever bundle

I actually skipped all uneven Forzas. Ok, i borrowed 3 from a friend, but i wouldn't have bought it.

The rest of slab of bacons post is an issue here though. Not so much Halo, but a lot of other things.

Going all Kinect instead of coregames cost MS reputation within the core audience. And most Kinect casuals either have left totally or are still staying with 360.
Resolutiongate and the GPU debate where and still are another issue.
The higher price tag because of Kinect at least was one. I know people that bought a PS4 because they just didn't want to spend 100€ extra on a stupid casual toy.
Kinect as well used to much hardware power, widening the gap between PS4 and One from the start.

Then there was all that TV, TV, TV no one over here really was interested in and everyone knew would be at best mediocre in Europe. And there was always online and DRM no one wanted.

All put together cost MS the reputation they built up with the 360.

Sony on the other hand could play the nice guy with the not so restricted, consumerfriendly, cheaper console. And that with already being much stronger and having a much better reputation.

And i really think that Microsoft not only fucked up in Germany but continental europe as a whole.
