Only one question.

Did you expect that the week of madden bundle, XBOX ONE have sold more than the week of Price drop?

Now that you mention it, it is kind of surprising. o.o I had been expecting the Kinect-dropping to, at the very least, cause a bigger on-release boost than it appeared to, given it was available for pre-order for as long/even longer than the Madden bundle. It might reinforce the idea that it's not enough to just take away something you DON'T want, (the Kinect and higher price point,) but instead have to add something that you want, (which, for some gamers, looks to be a shinier Madden.)

Just another proof that the price wasn't what was holding back the X1.

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

Bundling major games at no extra costs indeed has an impact.

I'm curious to see what impact any free game and Madden has.

Well... It makes sense tbh.. Cause with the Price cut, all you are getting is a price cut vs this, you are getting a "price cut" + a free game so...

I think it may have been a different result if the X1 was still at $500
