Xbox One Thread
Re: Xbox One Thread
Gameseek, who don't have the best reputation, have already undercut the price and have it for £390. Getting below the £400 mark and bundling in pretty much the game of the platform (for now) does make it a lot more attractive. It'll be interesting to see how much they manage to close the sales gap on the PS4, which is getting its first major exclusive next month too.

Re: Xbox One Thread
Yeah I can't see either console staying at their current prices. Im sure there will be some good deals for those willing to wait
Re: Xbox One Thread
It's exactly why I've waited , plus any bugs or console issues are usually ironed out after a few months. Probably get one next month , gonna book a holiday on payday insteadMicky Quim wrote:Yeah I can't see either console staying at their current prices.

Re: Xbox One Thread
Im not really that arsed. The only thing that would bother me would is if they changed the hardware in any way
Re: Xbox One Thread

Re: Xbox One Thread
Sony will be forced to drop their price at this rate. Makes me think Microsoft are trying to really squeeze the PS4 profit margin
Re: Xbox One Thread
Comes off as a bit desperate to me, especially as PS4 is apparently outselling them 2:1.
REQUIEM
Re: Xbox One Thread
PS4 are still going to outsell Xbox in my opinion , Xbox really lost a lot of traction when they tried to put all those stops on the Xbox One only to take them off due to outcry from more or less everyone.

Re: Xbox One Thread
Wasn't it always likely to sell more anyway. I thought the EU was always a bigger Sony market than xbox/xbox 360. I know in the UK it was less noticeable, but really the US is where xbox always dominated and our side of the pond swung the other way. And then Japan is it's own thingIron Mikes Tiny Eyes wrote:PS4 are still going to outsell Xbox in my opinion , Xbox really lost a lot of traction when they tried to put all those stops on the Xbox One only to take them off due to outcry from more or less everyone.

So Microsoft are ditching the Kinect and offering an unbundled Xbox One at the PS4's pricepoint...

Re: Xbox One Thread
Quite a good editorial from an IGN editor about how Xbox is cleverly copying Sony's recent tricks, which in turn Sony learned from the popularity of the 360 and the cock up of ps3 launch.Cal wrote:So Microsoft are ditching the Kinect and offering an unbundled Xbox One at the PS4's pricepoint...

Of course the fanboys say he's attacking MS cos he's a Sony guy, even though he's basically saying Microsoft are being shrewd.

Re: Xbox One Thread
Its pure desperation and another example of how wrong Microsoft have got it for the Xbone.
Id be furious if i was one of the those who bought the original console at that inflated price for no reason.

Re: Xbox One Thread
They're great but the games that have been released so far have been poor. So much hype for Watchdogs, was a let down.. So much hype for AC: Unity, was a let down..
Let the Sky millions roar the team home. Let the bulging cash account suck a goal into the Gallowgate net when it’s most needed.
I’m out; let them sink or swim without me, for the near future at least.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.
