They need to start making themed consoles for these bundles otherwise its just pointless.

I Think that they need to Bit some Heavy tittle and make heavy merchandise upon it, is better have 2-3 good seeling bundles than 12 bundles with 70% selling nothing, one of the Biggest Microsoft's Mistakes is make a bundle where you can chose between 3-5 games, they did not needed this bundle if they still have bundles from november, and december to sell.

umm no? Sony bundles every third party game they bought rights to as well. Options are bad on this website when it comes to Microsoft because this site is biased as hell. Sad that people can't be objective.

Yeah, but Sony doesn't restock them for months and months. Based on Amazon US's restocking date being delayed again and again Sony has already killed of the $350 Star Wars bundle, just 2 months after release. Meanwhile Microsoft does keep restocking their bundles. Just looking at Amazon US there's at least 9 different XB1 bundles in stock or are releasing in the future (Rainbow Six, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Holiday bundle, LE Halo 5, Lego, The Division, Elite, Kinect, Name Your Game) while there's only 2 PS4 bundles in stock (Uncharted and Call of Duty).

You dont think it pays of to focus efforts with marketing ect more than just haveing alot of  bundles without much push behinde them?





PS4 vs XB1 really reminds me a lot of PS1 vs N64. N64 was competitive in America but as time went on it started to fade while PS1 kept growing and at one point Nintendo had too many bundles that flooded the market.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Bundles is a great way to sell consoles so I would say no

Wtf, they still re-stocking the Kinect Bundle ?.

and for the guy who said this site is Biased, did you think that Releasing 12 Bundles and did not make a single merchandise for any, because each month you came with a new bundle, and also this kind of thing upset the third party developers and they will stop of making deals with Microsoft, did you think that this is right for the Xbox Owners ?, This site is not biased even the Xbox One's Console numbers are overtracked.





It's too much. It just confuses potential customers and end up for them in not buying any bundle.



I think they are trying to give consumers more incentive to buy xbox ones. Having less bundle options might drop sales even more.



The worrying thing is can they clear the channels of these bundles? Or will they be stuck with them through the year?
