Doesn't mean the consoles won't sell.


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.

By people you mean Xbox fans, surely...They showed nothing new (well, one rollercoaster game) while Sony announced several new games. Heck, that includes a new Silent Hill (stealth megaton).

Here's a guy that I usually watch. He's a little Sony biased on his channel but sometimes speaks truth

 

He's only not biased when he is saying things you like.

;)


Nah, he doesn't really talk about good MS news, maybe because of the people who input topics for him, but yeah I'm just sayin sometimes he knows what he's talking about.

 There is not a lot of Good MS news these days, and the few that are good end up being bad later on.

Pricedrop, Ryse, Dead Rising 3 used to be good news.




There's tons of news. We Xbox guys might not post it outside of Xbox empire because of obvious trolling but there's news almost everyday. Like every big update, next one including USB support with more formats than 360 including mkv, MS and the GameMaker deal.



They had a FIFA bundle last year and it did nothing then. I'm not sure why MS doesn't realize that Europe is Sonyland but maybe they'll catch on eventually.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Contrary to what some have said, I still believe a console bundle with a brand new game at a price point that is considerably less than buying the game and console separately is a price drop. At least a soft price drop.. or how else should we describe a soft price drop?



Game bundles are not a price drop because they're not perceived as such. Also nobody cares about price drops anymore because everyone knows that it won't help the X1 anyway.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Wait, who's saying that? Because I'm pretty sure Sony smoked them this GC



When they sell the system for less then $399 its a price drop.



remember when consoles actually came with a game as part of the core price to begin with... sheesh

Define "well"?  So far it's looking like MS is averaging (AT BEST, these are VGC numbers, and XB1 has historically been overtracked!) 35,000 consoles/week in NA.  Are they selling?  Yes.  In significant numbers?  Not at all.  They are tracking to take THIRD place behind the WiiU this generation.  I wouldn't call those numbers good, or "doing well".

Perhaps they do, but as a company what do you expect them to do?
