Pretty much none effect. Still gonna get obliterated by the competition.


Doesn't mean the consoles won't sell.


I mean the Titanfall bundles didn't exactly fly off the shelves.  You could find one a month after it came out...

What does it even mean? You think without those bundles the console wouldn't sell?

Xbone has a weak showing this year and beyond, a digital game bundled won't change that. It won't do anything in Europe, MS can as well stop trying, don't think we'll see much in NA, but it's their best chance for not being embarrased by competition's numbers, and I guess there is still hope for Japan and of course China, the new saviour.


Xbox actually has a good line-up. Its pretty much why people are saying they beat Sony at Gamescom.


Neither system has a good line up IMO. All the games I'm really looking forward to are multiplat. The only exclusives that I'm interested in are Bloodborne, The order and Quantum break. Even then those could never be released and I wouldn't care much.

I think both have good games coming. Definitely more than just those 3

It's not a price drop, they've been giving away games since launch (FIFA 14 and 15, Forza, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive...)

Actually, I am shocked they are charging a whole $100 more for a HDD upgrade, especially when XOne owners can upgrade it bigger and cheaper with external hard drives. Decals on the console sure are not worth that much.

Also, no Kinect bundles. Seems they are quietly discontinuing it. I think it will never go on sale standalone.

Jesus why are you such a pony? Seriously. The Xbox One is selling at a higher rate then the 360 so in anyway how is the console "not selling"? Plus they have nothing to be embarrassed about. The PS4 is doing great, Xbox one is doing great obviously not as great, and the Wii U is rather lackluster IMO. If anyone should be embarrassed it should be nintendo

Who says that exactly? MSchartz?

What new did they announce? Some new CGI's like during E3 that I have missed?

They have nothing on Sony that would turn the tides in a meaningful way. Halo will sell to the same people who would have bought an Xbone for Halo 5, Quantum Break, hmm speechless...more like the king has no clothes. SO is a wild card that won't push many consoles imo even though MS pushes that game hard. 

And what is there to keep momentum through next year? Sony having a weak line up this year as well, will still push through the holidays up till next year with 2 big titles in Q1.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

It sold great for its demand. Sony's demand was just way higher so they focused their shipping on inFamous.

As much you jump into thread and bring ps4 name in I think Sony should give u some money for it even Sony sells 200 million console and Xbox one sells nothing would Sony give u penny for it ? No they won't money goes in their pocket try and enjoy your console instead bashing Xbox one all the time

lets see how the both bundles will do compared to the White destiny ps4 bundle

We've known about these bundles for a while. Plus there have been so many price drops and offers everywhere, there's no point in discussing all of them.

I think its the HDD and the fact that its a customized limited edition console that made it $100 more.
