Microsoft has gone far in with the intention that the bad reputation the Xbox One earned at E3 was largely forgotten. Sure, individuals are still sore that Microsoft even attempted such inane policies, like having to envision in online every 24 hours, however the reversal of those policies has most gamers warming as much as them again. So, how does Microsoft entice those gamers that experience sworn off the Xbox One forever? How a few free game?

MCV recently heard a rumor that Microsoft has teamed up with EA to give FIFA 14 as a pack in title with every Xbox One sold in Europe. The Xbox One/FIFA 14 bundle would cost similar to the regular Xbox One thus making the £429.99 console look a bit more appealing when stacked up against the less expensive PS4.

If true, this could be a genius move at the portion of Microsoft. Regardless of what percentage policies it reverses on, it can’t reverse at the price of the Xbox One unless it takes Kinect out of the equation. That’s unlikely to happen, so the PS4 will, by default, remain the obvious choice in response to price alone. Whenever you pack in a free copy of FIFA 14, however, Microsoft’s console becomes far more attractive.

It’s unknown even if the FIFA 14 rumor has anything to do with Microsoft’s pledge to incorporate a game with every Xbox One sold within the eight European territories that recently had their Xbox One launch date pushed back from November until early 2014. The rumors make it sound just like the FIFA 14 offer may be available to all European countries so those gamers within the eight countries not getting it can prove getting two games next year.

Either way, we’ll discover more tomorrow because the rumors state Microsoft will make the announcement at Gamescom. The development, which happens in Germany, could be very much occupied with the ecu market, and it’d be the proper stage to take some wind out of Sony’s sail before it announces the launch date of the PS4.
