To be fair to her, this was released 1 day before the price cut announcement. And to be fair to her, she also wrote a big pile of shit.

Fair enough say that MS will win the holiday by doing aggressive deals but not because of those bundles. PS4 has by far the better bundles compared to what the XB1 has so I just don't get her. It's like when MS announced that they will announce 5 bundles, she wrote the base ot the article before they announced them. When MS made a big deal of these 5 bundles with 5 blacked out images of the XB1 that would be revealed on a daily basis, people got excited, she got excited and the tone of the article was decided there and then. What we got in reality was average bundles and a missed opportunity for MS to splash a little more cash to get the rights to a Fallout  themed console.

I stopped reading after "shit" and proceeded to just laugh.

This seemed laughable back in October when it was written, but especially now.

 "Now all that's left is to wait and see which Xbox One bundle ends up being most popular."

So naive.

Well you can still do that, but don't necessarily expect any Xb one bundle to be more popular than the most popular PS4 bundle.

I think the only bundle Sony is missing is a kid-friendly bundle. A Leggo+Tearaway should really be availble for the family with younger kids.


No she was saying that XBO would win altogether. And she was saying it like it was going to be no competition. 

About your other point, I fully agree. Surprised they didn't do this. Tearaway + lbp 3 + Lego would be a great kids/family bundle and would not lose them much money since Tearaway and lbp3 are cheap. Maybe battlefront will draw some of the younger crowd.

Does XBO have any family oriented bundles?

Don't they have a bundle with a family friendly game, which also has Gears or something? So there's a game for the kids and a game for mum and/or dad, or mums, or dads.

Edit: they have the Lego movie video game bundle.

Have to think the only reason that Lego movie bundle exists is so they can drop the price even lower on BF. I'm thinking 279.99 or lower, otherwise November is gonna be an annihilation

Do we need to revise this. The Amazon bundles that add games treat each item in the bundle independently. 1 sale of the PS4 NDC + Blops = 1 sale to the bundle and one sale for blops independently.

Should we have 8 XB1 bundles and 4 PS4 bundles.
