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?
"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That should be a purrfect option for gamers who don't have the game on Switch or Steam Deck. The iOS version will still support 2-player local co-op, thankfully," says Co-Optimus.
Mojang announced the release date for the latest Game Drop for Minecraft and a significant visual upgrade for the Bedrock Edition.
"It could be said that Brain Seal Ltd, the developer of the Dark Quest series, is wishy-washy on co-op. Every other game is either single-player or co-op. Thankfully, the upcoming Dark Quest 4 will be one of the co-op ones. In fact, it looks like this will be the biggest and best game yet in the board game-style dungeon crawling series. A demo has recently arrived on Steam, and the game will come to both consoles and PC later this year," says Co-Optimus.
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.
