I'm expecting the X1 to be around the Top 10 for when the dust settles. That would be quite the improvement at the end of the day.

Good move to keep the lower price by MS though.

Is MS still making a profit at $350 or are they taking a hit on that per unit?

Woooooah what happened to the quote button there.

Anyway I don't know for sure, but they must still be making a decent profit overall at this price for it to be worthwhile.

I imagine on the hardware they're making a loss, but after a game sells (and the attach rate is 3.9~ and gold ect they should be doing alright.

It's actually the big deals like NFL and Titanfall that likely lose them money.

If they're still selling the AC bundle they're probably paying Ubisoft a certain amount per bundle sold too. But MS has like $80+ billion so I suppose a little loss here and there wont hurt if it helped with the X1 sales.

Seriously I think MS can stagnate ps4s ever growing lead on the x1 by putting quality deals in place for Europe. The last two months MS has reeled in SONY's lead in US but in Europe they blow out by a couple hundred thousand a month or something like that.

Hopefully they can learn before its to late as they have the games

I have to wonder how 343i made H4 so damn stunning in 360. I'm playing it now on XO it looks as good as current gen games. Oh and can we all agree that Halo had the best skyboxes out there!? H4 is no exception.


I agree, and Halo 5, even in its beta state a year before release, looks pretty amazing as well.  The lighting, especially, looks damn good.
