Mental. I payed £270 for my 360 and that was about 6 months after launch

The PS4 should be around the same, they might be able to stretch to $449.99/£399.99 but they've previously said they're not going to take a huge loss on each unit sold so I reckon it's going to be priced the same as the One.

Both have now changed preorder price to £429.99

Xbox One "Day One Limited edition" is £429.99 preorder on the Microsoft website, but you can get 6.3% cashback if you go to the site via topcashback.co.uk
That brings the net price down to a more palatable £402.90.

Apparently the Day One ed.n has a limited edition controller, different packaging, an achievement, and a special decal.
All of which sounds like it has zero value but you may be able to sell to idiots on eBay - and at least they ain't charging extra for it.

The bundle will include all the usual stuff (console, Kinect, standard wireless controller, a month of Xbox Live Gold membership, headset) and will also include a digital copy of the game. Does not include the (quite awful) titanfall controller.

That's only for the UK aswell.. they aren't doing too bad over in the states.. still a way behind the PS4.. but much worse in europe than expected...I think Titanfall will definitely give it a good sales boost as will Kinect Sports Rivals.. as that will really be the first kinect v2 showcase..but £30 in the grand scheme of things isn't really that much of a drop..

Had a look on VGC the other day and the Wii U isn't too far behind the One in terms of worldwide weekly sales figures. The Wii U should get a significant sales boost when Mario Kart 8 is released at the end of May and I don't think that Titanfall is going to boost the One's sales anywhere near as much. I think Microsoft need to pull a significant rabbit out of their proverbial hat at E3 otherwise they're looking at having no chance of catching up to the other two.

It could happen. The One at the moment hasn't got that many more sales than the Wii U had this time last year. We've got the Wii U having an installed userbase of 5.7m, the PS4 having 5.4m and the One currently flopping (although not quite as bad as the Wii U did last year) at 3.5m.

And the sales gap between the PS4 and the One is only going to grow much larger now that Sony have released it in Japan.

Titanfall should increase sales a fair bit but how long for..? A week or two..? Maybe three..? And then you've got the Wii U's hardware sales being boosted by Mario Kart 8 which is a hardware seller like no other.

How long before third parties drop Xbox One support and port games from the PC to the PS4 and Wii U instead..? It won't be long before the Wii U and PS4 have twice the installed userbase of the Xbox One.

[jman]

lol, now I know your on a wind-up..

Just to let you know (because it actually sounds like you disagree).. the Wii U has always been a flop and is still flopping.. its missed ALL of its original sales targets (by miles) and ALL of it's revised sales targets (by miles) - that is what is known in the business as a flop!

PS4 will outsell the Wii U in the next 2 months and the XB1 will outsell the Wii U in the next 8 months.... quite happy to stand by that - don't worry, I'll remind you when it happens so you can say I was right 

[Late]

The flop that is the Xbox One is selling four times faster than the Xbox 360 did.

Just because the ps4 is breaking all records doesn't mean everything else is dead in the water.

How long before third parties drop Xbox One support and port games from the PC to the PS4 and Wii U instead..? It won't be long before the Wii U and PS4 have twice the installed userbase of the Xbox One.

Earth to Harv, Earth to Harv. Come in Harv. Your signal is coming in garbled.
