Xbone is $499 but the Titanfall bundle is $499
You can get a game and a better Kinect for $50 more with this price increase.

Interesting how it's only in Canada that Sony jacked up the price.

Sony had been doing poorly for 2006 to 2014. Japanese electronics were too expensive and yet they can't lower prices without big losses because the yen was too strong. Nintendo was also suffering because of the price they have to sell 3DS at. Cheaper (similar quality) Korean electronics were selling well in North America.
