Microsoft needs more bundles in the US, what they have now just doesn't cut it. At the very least they need to do more free game promotions like they did for Destiny on the weeks that CoD: AW, Halo: MCC, AC Unity, GTA V, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Far Cry 4 release. These are all big games and everybody who would want to buy an Xbox One this year is surely interested in one or more of those games, such promotions would definitely boost XB1's sales, just like it did for Destiny. Doing those promotions on the weeks that GTA V and Far Cry 4 release is especially important, because those 2 games have Sony advertising deals, just like Destiny.

Xbox One bundle with GTA V and Farcry 4 probably wont happen. Rest of the games will get a bundle. As a part of competition Sony will try to stop bundles in these two games.

Lol.

I do think it sucks though that whenever developers who are working on Xbox One get interviewed nowadays, questions about resolution, framerate, ESRAM, and DX12 are almost always in the interview. Can we not just enjoy games instead of worrying about the technical capabilities of our consoles? I swear, console gaming is becoming as bad as PC gaming anymore, it's all just one big penis size comparison contest "my console is more powerful than yours" and "my PC is more powerful than yours". It saddens me that this is the point we've reached as gamers.

Agreed.

Got to disagree. The CoD bundle is for hardcore CoD fans. This is why its a limited edition console that has its own design, similar to bundles such as the Gears of War 3 bundle. People will be specifically buying the console for that. Now will it get most of the CoD fans to jump to next gen? No, prob not, but it will grab some of the more hardcore CoD fans ensuring that CoD has a fanbase on XBO going into the future.

The Sunset Overdrive bundle is the first white xbox one with one of the best looking new ip's of this holiday from a popular developer on Sony platforms for years. I believe grabbing insomniac was a way for MSFT to focus on Sony fans and try to get some to get a xbox.

Lastly there will likely be more bundles and deals through out the holidays, not only for Xbox but also Nintendo and PlayStation. If you announce all your bundles and deals too soon then people will hold out until those gets released hurting sales in the weeks/months heading to that point. Now its ok to announce some but you dont want to announce everything too soon. Its like announcing a price drop. You dont announce it until the day it gets a price drop.

So I just pre-ordered the MCC from the MS store lol. That is way too good of a deal to pass. Plus I used my $50 gift card which makes it even sweeter.

I was talking about a repeat of the free game promotion that MS did the week that Destiny released for GTA V and Far Cry 3, not bundles. I know that Sony has the bundle rights for GTA V and Far Cry 4.

I understand now.

I agree, I miss those times when the gameplay was actually what matters most. Like getting the dreamcast day 1 with power stone (now that I think about it some digital release of it would be amazing), grabbing soul calibur, then sonic adventure.. We actually only talked (my friends and me) how fun those games were.. That was the topic.
