The Xbox One have what it takes to overtake the PS4 this year if leaked Microsoft Xbox One plans for this year are true. A member of gaming forums NeoGaf, which appears to have insider information about plans for Xbox one this year, have posted what Microsoft have planned for its Xbox One gaming machine. The insider suggests that a cheaper Xbox One will be released this year to compete with Sony’s PS4 with a price tag of $399. Unlike the PS4, this model will reportedly be a digital only console; the system will not have an Optical Disc Drive. Microsoft is also preparing to release a white Xbox One.
- Forza Horizon: “Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and… lots of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros.”
