The ONLY reason that deal made any difference was because the Recore special edition could be one of the games. That's why the Recore special Edition also appeared in the top 20. So we were looking at an XB1s for $300 with 4 Halo games and a Recore game worth around $140 (can't remember the exact price). That was an anomaly and not a trend, which I knew could not be sustained. MS just threw everything at the PS4 this month and it has only 'perhaps' reduced the ammount the PS4 wins. This is before the Pro launches and the Slim exclusive bundles launch. It just isn't looking good for the XB1s. Having said that, my opinion isn't set in stone and the one thing I won't do is use subjective thinking in order to combat any possible objective changes. |
Oh yeah, that's why it rose so high on Monday, but the day before that, with the normal free game available, it was in the upper twenties or so, which is probably where it would have stayed for the week if not for that Recore deal (and likely also wouldn't have sold out). If the Black Ops bundle had remained in stock, that would probably also be in the high teens or low twenties right now as well.
I just meant that this particular moment the Amazon hourly chart looks worse than it is for the Xbox for most retailers, since the Halo bundle is sold out, while on Monday the chart looked much more favorable for the One than it likely did at other retailers, due to the Recore Collector's Edition being available in the deal, a $189 game that carried with it prime savings that knocked an additional $40 off the entire package. Sorry if I didn't phrase that well :)
