I agree. But sponsoring the champions league isnt cheap.

Also, im not as convinced as you are about their witts.

Isn't America making a run for it. Either way, it's way worth the money. They money hated NFL, why not soccer. You got both of the top sports. This would be IDEAL. If I was MS I would be working on it, just like I worked on the NFL deal.

As Kratos already pointed out. This will be available in selected markets, partially as a sort of an "apology" for the late launch. For example, in my country the biggest gaming site speculated that the Xbone will be available as soon as spring, maybe even as late as May-June. That's a big middle finger to the Polish gamers and I don't think Fifa will convince anyone but the already convinced to wait that long.

As i said, i agree with you that that would be smart. We shall see if they get it or not.

I see this as a great move and it allows MS to keep the price of the console with kinect. Since its only for preorders the hit to there total revenue isn't as large. Also if MS can make it seem like the X1 version is the one to get with exclusive content and stuff like that it could help move some consoles overseas.

Its a good move but Sony still have the mindset in EU so it would take a lot more than this to make a decent charge. At MS probably still have the UK right.

it will definitely help, although its still cheaper to buy a PS4 and FIFA 14 anyway

In the EU people waited a whole year for the PS3, if you want to talk about a middle finger but most of the people over there forgave Sony pretty quick.  I believe people will be able to do the same if the X1 has the game and features you want.  If it truly releases that late then you just have a better time evaluating if the console has what you want much better.

This is getting a little annoying.

Kinect is included and is way worth the extra $100. Sony fans may write it off but thats because it's not their system of choice. Kinect 2.0 has great potential.

It will help of course but I believe most Fifa fans are going to buy the game at launch rather than wait two months for the Xbox One.

It definitely has! But still some can't or won't afford it, sadly. The Kinect Sports Rival scanning tech looked so awesome yesterday, Kinect surely evolved a lot.
