They appear to have blown ALL of their notable exclusives for the whole year in the bundle before this. The contrast between the content on the PS4 and the content on the XB1 could not be any more stark. I really hope Sony put out a family bundle containing Tearaway, LBP3 and Journey/Flower/Flow (or Unfinished Swan).

 

Why not a Disney Infinity bundle? With the Star Wars theme it could do great. Or is it done already? 

I've included exclusives only to demonstrate a point. This is the advantage of actually having lots of games and lots of variety on your system. MS are now exposing themselves with these bundles. It couldn't be any clearer what the real  picture for 2015 was and still is. It's all come down to ONE game: Halo.

As I have continually espoused, MS have a clear lack of diversity and this has resulted in a very conservative fanbase.  Had a feeling that the media was overblowing things, when they kept beating the drum about how MS has so many exclusives for 2015..... it was a huge waste IMO. 

 

I really couldn't have imagined this year going better for the Playstation division. It is made all the more impressive by the fact that they managed to claw back to the top during the life of the PS3 (Wii aside).  MS has very deep pockets and it is a huge lesson in business that Playstation can fell the giant so efficiently. Like David vs Goliath.

Then they'd better demonstrate that with their bundles and do it quickly.

Exactly. Their bundles have been lackluster IMO, have they announced all of them?

Like i said on previous posts, ALL the pressure remains on Halo 5 shoulders.

They've got two bundles to go, but they need to work harder on it, for example why not give 3 or 4 lego games away, those things are cheap as chips now, would have made a wonderful xmas games bundle, one lego game... nope.

So, one or two more bundles?

I think its two more bundles right?

So far:

  • Tomb Raider
  • Rare Replay
  • Lego

Should be Thursdays/Fridays

One of them has to be Fallout

I'm not just saying this but I'm shocked at the lacklustre bundles MS are putting out. Have they got a price cut lined up or are they not even bothered any more?

#15 PS4 Destiny Bundle
#28 PS4 TLOUR Bunde
#69 PS4 Black Ops Bundle
#77 PS4 Fool's Edition
#80 PS4 Star Wars Bundle

Yes ... that's it.

I don't think they can price cut too much like last year!

Last year they made a desperate move.Dropped the price and gave two games(including a $60 one) for free.

Xbox one hardware is probably being sold at loss at this point and any price cut or free $60 dolar game would only make things worse.And for what? wining a month in USA?

Imo MS will play safe this year and by safe i mean $400 bundles with new games and $350 bundles with old games.

The only thing i find weird is them charging $499 for the bundle of their system seller.

I think that's about grabbing as much money up front as they can. They'll probably reduce the price or add two games towards release.
