Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

Yeah, that another thing.
I don't know if I want to buy those games and then find out in the next month, or two that they are free with GWG...

Digital prices on Xbox though... ugh. Just saw that they are still charging $50 for AC Black Flag....

Pretty much every game is cheeper on Amazon, or in retail. 

Digital Aus prices are even worse, most games are 99.95

I have seen MS have what they call 50% off sales on the Xbox Store (so from $AU100 down to $AU50) and STILL found the game cheaper than the sale price at retail.

This needs to change, why wouldn't they lower the price to compete? this copy can't be resold..

If I was them, I would be undercutting as much as I can to put a dent in used game sales.

Because if they do that they'll become enemies with a huge gaming retailer. Then they won't sell systems. Gamestop already said in a call not too long ago that they're upset about Sony and MS' digital sales(http://www.inquisitr.com/1627778/gamestop-vs-microsoft-and-sony-the-battle-over-digital-delivery/ ). They don't wanna become the next Blockbuster so they're gonna hold out for as long as they can.

My guess remains that they simply cave to pressure from retailers!

Quote from the Gamestop President about digital.

“We want to help ensure that our industry does not make the same mistake as other entertainment categories by driving the perceived value of digital goods significantly below that of a physical game.”
