Sony is all set to welcome PlayStation 4 gamers to GTA universe later this month with Grand Theft Auto V PlayStation 4 bundle, however Microsoft is not too far behind. Although, no official GTA V Xbox One bundle has been announced, Microsoft via Amazon UK are selling Xbox One & GTA V for a price of £349.85, and this is less than what Sony are charging for official GTA V PS4 bundle.

At Amazon UK, official GTA V PlayStation 4 bundle is selling for £389.99, a whole £40 more than the Xbox One counterpart. So, what might be the reason for the price difference? as you can seen, Amazon has not yet officially started selling GTA V PS4 bundle themselves, the listing are of third party sellers.

With GTA V being one of the biggest release of 2014, this price difference might prove a deciding factor to those who are looking forward to buying the title and console later this month.

GTA V is officially scheduled to launch on November 18 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

As the console is. Sony isn't giving the games for free until they have some proof that Xbox is capable of matching PS4 sales for any significant amount of time. Until then they'll be happy with their sales.

...

but there is a second listing for the PS4 GTA5 bundle on amazon uk with the same price as the X1 bundle (which I found within seconds, as there is a link to it on the other listing the article used)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Console-Grand-Theft/dp/B00OYTAQAM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_h__1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NWPY9Q0D2D5K913D105

and there it's possible to pre-order from amazon themselves..

It's incredible that people are still surprised about this...

Who is selling more than twice as much in the Global week after week ? Who Has twice the User Base ? Who is dominating in Europe ? Who is selling better in NA with more than one million of units sold after only 11 months in The Microsoft Land ? Who is getting smashed by Sony ?

Of course MS have to go with price cut after price cut and cheaper Bundles in general(not the GTAV Bundle) to save the face in their Country(and UK)... they are wasting and wasting money just to try to win one single NPD in a whole year.
