Microsoft brengt de Xbox One naar een prijs van £399.99 in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Daarnaast verschijnt er een bundel voor dezelfde prijs met een digitale versie van Titanfall. De nieuwe prijs moet vanaf vrijdag in de winkel te vinden zijn. Xbox’s UK Marketing Director Harvey Eagle:
It’s about giving gamers in the UK the best possible value that we can. We feel the time is right now to do this because Titanfall is coming out. It’s the game that most gamers are looking forward to playing, and we think that this is a great time to offer this new price point moving forwards, and include the game while stocks last.
Titanfall is a game that has won more than 80 awards so far, it’s incredibly hotly anticipated, and I believe it’s a game that people will buy an Xbox One in order to play. But moving forwards if you think about what I think are the three hottest games of the year to come, Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Destiny, the only place you’re going to be able to play all three of those games is on Xbox One.
Over de Xbox One in 2014 had de man het volgende te melden:
I’m feeling good about where we are. I think the announcements we’re making today are very exciting, I think there’s lots more to come. I’m excited about what’s round the corner; obviously we’ve got Titanfall on the immediate horizon, we’ve got games like Project Spark coming out, we’ve got Sunset Overdrive coming later in the year, Destiny and Watch Dogs I already mentioned. I think there’s a ton of stuff coming and a great reason for people to be excited about the future.
We obviously make a load of announcements at E3 which we’re really excited about. You’ll get a far greater sense of the games lineup for the Christmas period at E3.
Of dit gaat betekenen dat de Xbox One in Nederland gaat verschijnen voor 400 Euro is nog niet bekend.
