GameStop: Xbox One $399 fly off the shelves
Under E3 2014, GameStop store chain reported that sales of Xbox One have increased dramatically since it began to be sold without the Kinect. This resulted in strong sales momentum for the company, according to its vice president of marketing, Bob Puzon.
“They went on sale in GameStop yesterday; these things have flown off the shelves. “said the manager on June 10. “It’s a huge victory and a great opportunity for us.” In addition, he added that although the $399 version was very popular, the $499, which includes the peripheral, still sells well.
Regarding the decision of Microsoft to sell Kinect separately Puzon said: “It will be interesting to see how many of those guys [who bought the Xbox] back and buy the Kinect.”
This is one of the changes that Microsoft implemented in their console to make it attractive. Also, earlier this month, the company announced that Xbox Live applications that were previously exclusive to Gold members subscription, like Netflix or Twitch would be free for all . The program with Gold Games Xbox One is now available.
