I've updated earlier than usual because I find this situation incredible. If this isn't just a temporary blip, I really do think the XB1 could be heading into WiiU territory. A deal like that should lead to more than a few hours above the PS4. Other than giving XB1s away, what more can MS do?

They just killed their image early on, and apparently not as many people care about BC, as MS thinks. They definitely need to release more and better games, if they even want to have a chance this gen, rather than focusing on bringing people more of their back catalog, that they can now play, imo. Let's face it, the game selection of first party titles, has been pretty lacking and underwhelming, so far this this gen, from MS, imo.

Whelp, we've finally found out what it takes for the One to outsell the ps4 on Amazon for a few days. All it has to come with is:

A: A bigger hard drive. 

B. A five-game bundle. 

C. An extra controller. 

D. A $50 gift card. 

 

So MS has a blueprint now :)

The Biggest problem is that Windows 10 thing, If even Microsoft send their exclusives for the PC why a Third Party company would make a Exclusivity deal with the Xbox ?.

Perhaps there's a corrolation between these insane deals and the recent deluge of MS leaks. Clearing out stock ready for new consoles isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

The Xbox One slim, and that Xbox One mini console (streaming) at 175$.

Overwatch is a truly beast

So with the recent rumor of a $175 xb1 slim; how do you guys think it would fair against a ps4 or ps4 neo in the US if it comes true.

I think you're confusing some rumors. Regarding the $175 Xbox he sad something like this: Second Xbox streaming device (~$150 -> ~$175): a bit bigger than the chromecast-like device but "not an Xbox One crammed into a tiny box". This is more of a replacement for those who would buy 360 as a media box in 2015. He thinks this device will leverage the Windows Store to play "lightweight" games. Things like Hitman: Go rather than Rise of the Tomb Raider.

He talks about it here at 7:52 until about 9:47 https://youtu.be/EQnTcwe1t5U?t=7m52s
