I think its 399 Euros. 

I assume that would be without the kinect. That's close to $500 bucks here. I wouldn't have thought it was that pricey there. Unless that includes importing. Hopefully MS will focus more on Europe soon and give better deals :)

No, its the price of the kinectless bundle. If a product is $100 in North America, its most likely 100 Euros in Europe. Their taxes are much higher, so that is why the price is higher there.

Only way they can sell better in Europe is if they rebrand themselves as Playstation :P

A 100 Euro price cut could work too  

Even a 50 Euro cut would be better than nothing, selling it at the same price as the more powerful PS4 when PS already had an advantage in mainland Europe last gen is insanity. Even a drop down to 350 Euros should increase it's weekly sales in Europe by at least 50%, which I'd be pretty happy with. 300 Euros would be ideal of course, I think Xbox One could have 70-80% of the PS4's weekly sales in Europe at 300 Euros.

50 euros would help but it won't be enough. A 100 Euro price cut would help X1 stay competitive, although I doubt it can ever come close to the PS4's Europe sales ever.

My take on the matter.

Wow just realized Candy Crush is now available on Microsoft store. After all these years King has finally put 1 of their games on win8 phones

My take on the matter.

Signed in just to up vote! Sad to see all the Japanese support the 360 gained over the course of the 7th gen go to waste.

Hopefully Phil sees the importance of Japanese support, we still only have one Japanese exlcusive retail game as far as I know (Scalebound), not even one exclusive JRPG. Not to mention were missing out on so many awesome JRPG games coming up along with other games that were on Xbox last gen like Naruto Ninja storm (which I know Slade was upset about). I'm not sure what Phil has to do, maybe pay for porting costs or something but if this continues it's not going to be good for the Xbox One.

It's kinda crazy that MS has to chase Japanese publishers to force them to make money.

So vgc has mcc over tracked according to npd. Not surprising considering the lack of marketing and the online mess.



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

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

shika I had to start over on my Rogue game :( Do you think Phil is an all talk but no action kind of guy?

Gamebreaking bug? I'm waiting to play Unity and Rogue until they get more of these bugs sorted out, hopefully by January they'll be solid games, that's when I plan to renew my Gamefly subscription.

I hope not. He suggested there'd be some kind of retaliation for the loss SF5, so hopefully he plans to back that up this E3. MS needs to get another 3rd party exclusive that's at least in the 3-4m seller range, if not higher. 

Call me crazy but even though this just really happens on AC games if I miss something that I can't go back to, my mind will constantly go you missed this over and over. It's driving me crazy lol. Rogue isn't bad though. I haven't seen any gamebreaking bugs on the game atleast and I already went through it once. This time would be to do every single thing on top of it.

Reason why I mentioned Phil is cause everytime we lost something from an exclusive he speaks out like he's going to try and make up for it and that pretty much sums it up.
