MS devaluing their console even further. Do they want the console business to survive or are they trying to condition people into thinking a console should be $300 with a free game as the norm? No wonder Sony are being quiet right now. They'd sooner stay out of it and let MS sink with the ship rather than join in and go down together. 

and sony still didnt make there move yet 

they are still milking that cod bo 3 bundle 

i think sony will cut ps4 price  to 199 for a limited time in the holiday 

and they will bundle the new cod game with ps4 neo imo 

lol

And if Sony plays it smart the CoD bundle which they will definitely have in November wont just include Infinite Warfare, but also Modern Warfare Remastered. PS4 Neo + Infinite Warfare + Modern Warfare Remastered for $399 (maybe $349 for Black Friday and Christmas) would do insane numbers.

The've got to be careful not to get caught in the trap MS have found themselves in. They just can't sell consoles without a game included now and they've only get themselves to blame. I'm not a business man but I have seen how this works. I was a windowcleaner and had a huge round which made me a decent living. Another 'firm' stepped in and undercut us and sure enough we started losing customers to them. But we knew their pricing wasn't sustainable and they'd eventually be losing money because of other costs. We tried to explain this to the customers we had left but still they changed from us to them. 6 months later their windows were dirty and the other firm was no where to be seen. We could never get all our customers back and the business folded. That's what MS are risking for themselves and for the console business as a whole. I'm convinced they don't care now. It's a stark contrast to Sony, who are constantly reminding everyone that all boats rise with the tide. MS want to suck the ocean out of the harbour.

And yet again, Amazon fails to keep a stock of 3DS units.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Also, is it normal that home console units don't appear at all on amazon France? There's 6 3DS variations, and nothing else...

For Europe right?

We’ve seen unprecedented demand for Xbox One S across Europe and around the world, and today, we announced two new bundles for FIFA fans in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S. With the Xbox One S FIFA 17 Bundle – available with a 500GB or 1TB hard drive

Fifa bundle in the US? What the point when the Madden bundle doesn't sell that much? It's strange one, why do MS have so many bundles? Does more bundles mean that retailers will take more of their stock? The knock on effect is that retailers will have to get rid of these consoles and do their own deals. XB1 will then have price cuts without MS having to sell it less to retailer.

HARDWARE

#24 PS4 Black Ops III Bundle (up 2)

#31 XB1s 2TB Edition (down 2)

#44 PS4 500GB Standard Edition (up 5)

#62 XB1s 500TB Halo Bundle (up 5)

#90 XB1s 1TB Madden Bundle (up 8)

#93 XB1 1TB 3 Game Bundle (down 3)

Too lazy to post software, so I'm sure someone else can do that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Consoles always have a game bundled so I don't understand what you are saying. Sony is staying quiet because they have an event on September 7th.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

With this they will kill  a lot of their profit that they should be their focus at this point of the Generation. They will also make  Amazon, Gamestop and others, more afraid of purchasing a large stock of anything that is Xbox related.



From now all the way into next year I am expecting some good months for MS and every month SHOULD show YOY growth.
