Hoping for a PS4 win to further justify why Microsoft needs new ips to bring people in.

They don't just need new IPs, they need a differentiation.

PlayStation is domination and 360's greatest benefit was PS3's failures. The next xbox needs to carve its own audience instead of trying to directly compete against PS5.

They threw forza in with the gears bundle.  will Microsoft keep going until they catch up to the ps4?

[Kerotan]

Fallout 4 ps4 now above halo.  This will sell a shame ton on Ps4. WW I'm sure the ps4 sku outsells halo 5 but can it pull it off in the US?

Is Microsoft trying to win the month by pushing these last minute bundles?

[the-pi-guy]

Right now: "We are not competing with Sony.  We are just offering the best value we can"

End of the month: "we have seen unprecedented sales of Xbox One.  We have outsold our competition by 10%. "


nah, jk.  
Maybe...

They might have realized that they'll have to do more if they want to beat their own numbers from last year, the bundles they are offering this year won't achieve that on their own.

Are the deals Amazon-only or are other retailers offering similar deals?

[BananaKing]

last year they did like 160k. they will easily doubt that this year.

[ethomaz]

last year they did like 160k. they will easily doubt that this year.

I guess he means November and December.

I don't think they can manage it. They pushed it too hard last year and PS4 wasn't trying to compete
