^ this. Halo 5 is how they hope to make money.

Giveing it away in a cheap bundle (at 299), with custom designed caseings, along with a bigger more costly HDD.

To me that just spells tons of lost earnings.

It would be 299 for 500 GB. And tell me how it results in lost earnings? Cause I've heard lots of people say the PS4 will have a 299 price cut.

Well for starters, if we take the custom Batman PS4 + Archam Knight as an example, it costs $50 more than the regular black PS4 + Archam Knight bundle.

And another thing to consider is that Microsoft have already been bleeding money with those crazy deals last holiday in order to increase the install base, not to mention the sudden unbundling of Kinect, which they likely had a lot invested in, and then the $50 price cut. Even though Microsoft have infinite piles of cash, there are investors who are in this to make money. And at some point after all their sacrifices, they would like to see periods of good profits. Halo 5 marks a good, if not the best, chance for that. It's a game that will sell itself and consoles in droves. So to bundle that particular game, along with a custom XBO at no extra cost, I'm not sure they'd want to do that.

I don't think Sony would bundle Uncharted 4 + Custom PS4 for free.

The game will sell itself, but not the console. Sure we may see a tiny boost, but Microsoft should really take the dry Sony and Nintendo holiday season and exploit it for their favor. They said they want to win, well then they must do the same thing Sony did with the PS3, fork out the money....
