Roughly three months after the Xbox One hit stores, its price was cut.
On February 24, Microsoft lowered the retail price of its next generation console in the UK from £429.99 to £399.99, the equivalent of a $50 price cut in the U.S. At the same time, the company unveiled an upcoming Titanfall bundle in both regions, which includes a copy of the system's most anticipated game at no additional charge.
The bundling of such a big game raised some eyebrows, but the UK cut really set gaming forums ablaze. Was Microsoft acknowledging weakness in Xbox One sales? Was it "pulling a Nintendo" to remain competitive? Was the company throwing in the towel?
Epic Games is sending more V-Bucks back to Fortnite players, so make sure to get into the game and check if you received them.
Three new demons are coming to Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, along with new extreme difficulty mode unlocked with New Game Plus.
Microsoft has doubled down on its intention to bring Activision games to its premium subscription service, Xbox Game Pass.
COD is one of the worst series in gaming.. EA had a chance in gold to overtake COD but chose to kill Battlefield and Medal of Honor
@Cacabunga, That is your opinion which is highly in the minority since COD is always one of the best sellers yearly. We all have games we like, and do not like.
@Zeref
All your downvoters are crying about the Redfall studio but didn't purchase the game
@Tankbusta40
But why would they purchase anything?
Microsoft for the past 9 years has conditioned their customers to want everything for pennies on the dollar instead of buying.
How many copies can any game sell when the company that supposedly wants sales is telling people
A- we don't care about sales, just engagement
and
B- constantly telling the customers to get it day 1 for pennies on the dollar via gamepass
They literally cannibalized their own potential sales and then take it out of studios for not selling. That doesn't make sense.
Yay cod.
I cannot fathom why people give a fk about cod(Xbox, ps, and PC players). Sure acti has others games but they haven't been the same in so many years.
When asked about Xbox games going to other platforms. She absolutely sidestepped and avoided answering the actual question.
Jeez just tell the base already
About that last part the silence is deafening.
She could of simply said. Other than COD we have no plans to bring anymore games to other platforms other than windows and Xbox.
Its simply the most content rich and fun shooter on the market, how is that hard to understand? All the criticism cod receives is honestly jealousy that its so consistent.
That still manages to top sales charts and move units year after year.
Edit: Kids downvoting facts are delulu.
The reason why it moves units is because adults are dumber than ever which makes kids even dumber, which lowers the bar on the quality of entertainment.
The sooner you learn that taste is ✨️subjective✨️ and people can have a different opinion to yours, you'll be a lot less angry.
two things can be true here.
Yes Ponyrider, taste and opinion ARE subjective.
However, that doesn't take away from the lack of quality and care put into COD (or any other heavily milked franchise) that anast is pointing toward
lol the whole point of annual CoD is to make its fans buy the game anew again every year, if it comes to gamepass it’d be more cost efficient to never make a new CoD again and just make it a long term game like fortnite or counter strike.
yeah I can just see CoD take that route and close 2 studios out of 3. We’ll see.
Yessss put COD on gamepass and destroy its worth. Keep being dumb Microsoft we love it!!
No doubt MS is feeling the heat with the success of the PS4.
Yes price cut had little affect in Europe PS4 is running a train on the competition this is with out any big releases this should be very concerning to Microsoft.
Absolutely not. The ps4 is womping on the competition by comparison, but xbone sales are also incredibly impressive. Both have had massive outings and have had have enjoyed several months of strong sales so far.
I think earlier when someone said feeling the heat is the best way to describe it. They are not in trouble, but they know they have a lot of ground to make up and they stumbled out of the gate compared to the PS4. They will turn it around though. Last gen the roles were reversed and it came down to a very close amount of systems sold. I see this generation ending very similarly.
No it isn't in trouble, but I don't think it is a run away success like they suspected it to be.
