Moves like this will make the fanbase even more weary of buying their stuff at full price when you know 3 months later the price is 20% lower!!

We've seen pricecuts happen fast after a console flopping in sales, but this is the fastest one i can remember. Nintendo for example, didn't have that ambassador programme for nothing..

10%, stop making up shit

It's a little north of 15% to be precise. 470 pounds to 399.

the console was 429 - 30 = 399 read the article its even less then 10%

Stop your nonsense. Are you purposely forgetting Titanfall's inclusion in that bundle?

I wouldn't call it a middle finger. I think it's just a test in a region the 360 was popular in to see if price parity solves their issues. UK is much smaller than US in terms of volume so it would be better to try it there than in US and lose so much more money.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

early adopters can only blame themselves, because it was obvious One would get price cut very soon

First adapters knew what they were getting into.
The price cut was needed.
They need to cut NA now also.

The early adapter is the topic of the thread!! They are not getting the game discounted. They cost of the game and the console for them is +470 pounds. Do you even know what you're arguing?
