I didn't expect this to happen. Didn't Sony bring out its own bundle?


Yes 2 days before FIFA launch against nearly 6 weeks of preorder for the X1 bundle. Its done tremendously well infact.

Wow... For such a short time, PS4's bundle did quite a good job at not letting the X1 run away with an outright lead.

But that doesnt matter. Xbox didn't do the price cut till like a week before. Plus it's the Internet. Everyone who wanted one could've done it in the 2 days and I guarantee a vast majority of the fifa sales were done when the price cut happened

The bundle was £349.99 RRP. The same price as the console. PS4 and FIFA would have been a lot more expensive if Sony didn't step in and offer retailers an "incentive"

Sony's bundle was 329 just like Xbox's. 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

I'm on about the FIFA X1 bundle price before the price cut. I'm fully aware of price adjustments, follow it litterally all the time, really bad for my health.

Wotta from ShopTo.net:
At the moment PS4 has a substantial lead in terms of units sold overall in the UK. Can't see that changing much really. Sales were neck and neck this week despite MS heavily advertising bundles for the most popular franchise in the UK, FIFA.

MS got a great sales boost at over 150% but Sony also had a great boost with 80% more PS4's sold, despite the game not being advertised for PS4.

Even if it's the same next week, the sales of both this week means that MS won't even dent that lead. MS has a long way to go to catch up. But does it matter really? As long as both are selling well, that's all we should be concerned about. The closer the better for games. Competition = good news for us.

Hope you get a PS4 with a nice price cut

Weird, since Fifa is also on PS4. Congrats.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Hope I do, I'm probably waiting until E3/Batman to arrive then I'm making the plunge!

I know a few 360 owners waiting for MCC to get XB1. That's the console seller in UK for XB1 I reckon.

Not bad. They are gonna need a lot of those to reclaim all their lost grounds.
