Dealspwn: "The Xbox One has been crushing it this Christmas. Phil Spencer's plan was brilliantly simple -- release some great games, cut the price and the gamers will come -- and seems to be working like a charm. Retailers fought tooth and nail to offer the best bundles over Black Friday and beyond, while only today we posted about an insane Xbox One bundle deal with 6 AAA games. It's great to see a big company move so quickly and even better to see them moving in the right direction too.
And yet, according to plenty of folks out there in internet land, this is somehow a bad thing.
Microsoft are desperate. Microsoft are losing money. Microsoft have gone mad. Microsoft are pathetic.
No. Let's get some perspective here."
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
Between its innovative puzzles, impressive presentation, and undefeated vibes, Cocoon needs to be experienced on Xbox Game Pass and beyond.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "If you haven't played Rainbow Cotton before, you're not alone. A Dreamcast exclusive released only in Japan, it's not exactly a household name. Looking to change that, and bring the sixth-gen game back into the spotlight, is German studio KRITZELKRATZ 3000, which — with the backing of publisher ININ and original developer SUCCESS — has remade the 3D shoot-'em-up from the ground up. Featuring several modern quality-of-life upgrades, plus HD graphics and a brand new local co-op mode, it promises to merge the past and present when it launches digitally on consoles and PC on May 9.
Ahead of the game's release, I chatted with Andreas Scholl, technical director at KRITZELKRATZ 3000 and lead programmer for Rainbow Cotton, about what fans can expect from the remake."
I love what's going on right now. Retailers dropping bundle deal after bundle deal. It's freakin great for us consumers. Never been a better time to be looking at getting into new-gen!
Sorry but, its desperation...
It's good business as well, but... its desperation.
And hey, it's working.
I dont know its working financially, but its working in terms of unit sales
They're desperate.
small independents like us are buying them up in there hundreds to sell. we can,t buy them for the prices they have the x1 bundles at the moment.i hope the ms does increase the prices up if not there rep is in for some stick after the hols
Any die hard MS fan, or spotty brat 'journalist' will say it's 'good business'.
Anyone with a business mind will see this screams out desperation.
@DJustinUNCHAIND
Oh really? Please tell me another company that has had such excessive price drops, dropped the core of it's original selling point (Kinect) and given away multiple games, just to compete with a console that is selling almost 2:1 globally without having to bat an eyelid?
You part of the real world? Pfft.
@narc
No, my business mind tells me that Just because the company on a whole is doing great, doesn't mean the XBox division have bottomless pockets.. Their desperation is in staying relevant with the PS4 and not falling even further down the ladder for the future, not about their losses at this current point.
