Microsoft’s Xbox One bundle including EA’s hit title “Titanfall” is on sale at Walmart for $50 off the original price, according to Polygon.
“A representative from Best Buy confirmed to Polygon that the company is selling the Titanfall bundle and the regular Xbox One console without Titanfall for $449.99 through its website and in retail stores,” the gaming website reports. “The spokesperson declined to say how long the $50 price drop would be in effect.”
“Titanfall” has reportedly helped boost the Microsoft’s lagging Xbox One sales. Gfk Chart-Track reports the next-gen console’s sales have doubled since its launch because of the “Titanfall” bundle.
"Titanfall also gives a colossal boost to Xbox One hardware sales with a huge jump of over 96 percent thanks largely to the new Titanfall bundle (including a download token of the game) accounting for over 70 percent of all Xbox One hardware sold this week," according to Gfk.
However, the official sales numbers have yet to be released by EA and Microsoft. The news comes shortly Sony Computer Entertainment announced the PlayStation 4 sold more than 6 million units worldwide.
"I am absolutely delighted that PS4 is off to such a great start in Japan," Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., said in a statement. "The responses we have received for the PS4 system's integrated social capabilities have been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more thrilled that gamers are utilizing these unique features to engage, share, play and connect with users around the world. SCE will continue to expand the world of PlayStation by growing its library of breakthrough games and bringing more innovative features and services only possible on PS4."
Before the “Titanfall” bundle was released, the Xbox One reportedly sold about 3.5 million units as of its launch date.
