I have a feeling MS is going to love this coming holidays..

Brazz4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

i'm not trying to troll, but...

Ya see... slashing the price of your product in 40% on the first year isn't a good thing...
I wonder, what's the money that Microsft will lose on each console? I doubt that they are profiting, the price is as low as the WiiU lol! ( if you include COD value in the pack)

Dread4208d ago

I do not want to troll either, but I thought Sony did the same or something very similar with the Playstation 3.

Sony did fine then. It was a bit bumpy at first but look at them now.

KiwiViper854208d ago

The main aim is to get consoles in homes. Microsoft can afford to cut the price to repair their image with consumers.

The money is made on software.

VegasDawg4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

Consoles have never been profitable that's not how they make money.

xer04208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

And that's not all.

They are paying to give away and discount games.
Both of which they are doing heavily right now.

Xbox division is seriously lucky to have an endless money bucket. That's the only way they are keeping afloat.

Sure, they'll make their money back on software sales; but the PS4 is making a profit on each console sold, as well as making a killing in software sales.

Outstanding value, if you're a SAMS Club member.

Might be worth becoming a member?

To answer your question:

http://www.microsoft.com/In...

"Xbox Platform revenue increased $538 million or 58%, due mainly to 102% higher volume and a 93% increase attributable to higher premium mix of consoles sold"

@Brazz

MS has to make sure they have consoles in as many homes as possible and the holiday season is the biggest buying season for consoles where they can shift over 4 million units between November - December alone.

NA is generally that largest contributor to those sales account for 3/5 of the total sales for the holiday period. MS is looking to gain as many sales as possible this holiday.

They can still make the money back on software sales and XBLG, and over the years each of these XBO being sold for a possible loss will have turned into a profit through game sales and XBLG.

So it's take a small loss now, and hope to make a good profit later.

The goal is to get more consoles in more peoples' hands.

This will sell alot of units. Just like that tlou/gta5 Ps4 bundle will have ppl foaming. Im happy to see all these good deals already!

5eriously4208d ago

Now we talking. The XB0ne sold at its actual real value.

KiwiViper854208d ago

Are you forgetting this is 1TB with a new release game?

It's just straight up excellent value for money.

No amount of sly troll comments will change that fact

GodGinrai4208d ago

I got my 1TB bundle yesterday. It sure is sexy!

CloudRap4208d ago

This game is great, the king has held the throne.

ScorpiusX4208d ago

That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.

LordoftheCritics1131d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed AW.

Good campaign and everything.

LOGICWINS1130d ago

Same. Fantastic campaign, but I wasn't crazy about the jetpacks in multiplayer.

RaidenBlack1131d ago

I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch

CobraKai1131d ago

I felt it was a good time to revisit WW2

porkChop1131d ago

I actually really enjoyed WWII. I never understood the hate it got.

JEECE1130d ago

A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.

Here’s hoping that a sequel just doesn’t happen.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the series' lone bright spot this gen

GR: "If one series truly defined the seventh generation of consoles it was Call of Duty. Sadly, the series has struggled to reach the same heights on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and only Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare feels like the previous era of innovation and top-notch storytelling."

I quite enjoyed it but I think black ops 3 was the high point.

Modern warfare could be if a few tweaks are made and the new maps are good.

Baza2380d ago (Edited 2380d ago )

Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.

Immorals2380d ago

Black ops 3 was terrible. The story was absolutely atrocious.

Knushwood Butt2379d ago

I quit that campaign after about an hour. All I remember is some crappy robot drone combat R2D2 thing that you had to use. I didn't make it past that.

Epicor2379d ago

For me the Black Ops installations have always been the high peaks in terms of PVP mode. Black ops 3 campaign was pretty bad though. Advanced Warfare's campaign was pretty good, one of the best ones - but PVP was bad!

gamer92380d ago

LOL Advanced Warfare, too funny

2380d ago
Kabaneri2380d ago

The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
