(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Recently GameSpot's had an interview Managing director for Sony's UK's branch, Fergal Gara they discussed Microsofts
very audacious, pre-order bonuses located int Europe.

Microsofts have issued a statement,

'' Each pre-order of an Xbox one will come packaged with a digital copy of Fifa 14
with no extra cost ''.


Is Microsoft announcing this promotion to this to diminish the PlayStation 4's pre-order sale's ? it could be seen that way.

In turn, Fergal Gara managing director for the Uk's Sony branch was questioned, '' do you think this will effect the
Playstation pre-order number's for Christmas ''.

In turn Fergal stated,
'' the promotion is quite strong as indeed Fifa is a world renowned critically acclaimed title, as of present though, while our PlayStation 4 pre-orders are at an extreme high as of present ''.


Seeming to be not threatened by Microsoft's latest PR stunt.

In replying again Fergal stated,

'' As of present we don't have a problem with our preorders ''.


Infact Sony's pre-order sales for the PlayStation 4 have reached over 1 million an astounding number which tell's me
for the moment Sony are in the '' Green ''.

Furthermore Fergal stated,

'' Sony will remain focused on the PlayStation 4's Value and when launch day comes
beckoning I am sure we will certainly be ably to make gamers feel looked after''.


As of now this new promotion that Microsoft has issued looks more like a threat to Sony's PlayStation 4 rather
than a nice promotion for the loyal fan's.

Fergal then stated,

'' Just to be clear, You can purchase a PlayStation 4 as well as a physical copy of Fifa 14 at full
price for less than the price of an Xbox One''.


Is Fergal saying '' Guys Microsoft is ripping you off here can't you see it'' or is it a simple observation from his part.

Finishing off the inter view with Fergal Gara, Sony's Managing director he had a few last words as if to make a point.


'' Here at Sony we will continue to focus on great content and value for all the gamer's out there, and there are examples of that today be it the price of the PlayStation 4 or the content we'll be bring you on PlayStion plus '' .


Finish this interview strong and confident, as of now though it seem's Sony is leading the NextGeneration of gaming
by example leaping bounds ahead of Microsoft.

I would love to hear your thoughts let me know thanks for reading.

Worth the Weight
Xbox One Bundle:

Fifa 14, Xbox One console, Kinect

$499

Ps4 to match it:

Fifa 14, Ps4 console, Ps4 eye

Total Value: $400 + $60 + $60 = $519.99

So you still save $20. tears

I just find it ridiculous that Microsoft implemented all those strict policies basically stomping all over there
fan base in turn not giving them anything.

Then they reverse the policies, they made to appease the angry hordes of Xbox fans.

Then the Xbox 360 fans just accept it and all is forgive, maybe its just me but once bitten twice shy you know what I mean.

even if i was tempted to go for xbox one, fifa would be a waste of packaging to me and i would end up selling it.
