Microsoft is apparently set to lower the price of the Xbox One in its second largest market. Starting on February 28, UK gamers can pick up the Xbox One for a priced reduced by £30.
The news comes alongside the announcement of the limited Titanfall bundle. In addition to the standard black console, controller, and Kinect, the bundle comes with a digital copy of Titanfall and one month of Xbox Live. The bundle goes on sale alongside Titanfall on March 11. On February 28 Microsoft is dropping the Xbox One entry fee from £429 ($712) to £399 ($663). This applies to the UK Titanfall bundle and all other versions of the console.
PlayStation 4 is still outselling the Xbox One worldwide. Sony’s console will still continue to be sold at a lower price with its £349 sticker.
Now the bad news: Because of the currency conversion rate and the fact that it still has strong sale here in the US, I wouldn’t count on seeing a price drop here for some time.
