Every Xbox One in Europe comes with a free "major third-party game", possibly FIFA 14

[Name]

Remember Phil Spencer referring to "Europe's biggest franchise" during a discussion of unannounced Xbox One exclusives? He may have been referring to FIFA, which certainly makes the cut from a sales perspective. MCV reports that the manufacturer will announce an exclusive FIFA 14 Xbox One bundle at Gamescom tomorrow.

Near simultaneously, CVG has a report up claiming that Microsoft will bundle a "major third-party game" free with every Xbox One sold in Europe. This is apparently in lieu of a price drop - the console's £429/$499 RRP has not, it's safe to say, won it many friends.

Could that "major third party game" be FIFA 14? Because a free copy of EA's latest footie sim with every European Xbox One would be a bit of a barn-stormer, it goes without saying.
Neither Microsoft nor EA has commented on either report. We'll ask if they're prepared to comment on this one, just in case.

Update - MCV has now updated its headline as follows: "FIFA 14 to come free with Xbox One? Gamescom announcement expected". Goodness.

Well they said all European Xbox One's. I'm pissed that U.S. isn't going to get any free game I wonder if someone would sue if they don't.

I know FIFA is a game played by a lot of people but it won't make any difference at this time anymore.

I feel bad for all the playstation4 users....
Too bad that they won't get any Xbox Exclusives, Arcade/Indies,Xbox Live Reward System, Apps like Internet Explorer & others,Livestreaming 4 the E3, Profile Avatar, Avatar Awards,Xbox Live Party Chat, Xbox Live Gold Membership only on 1 person to be able to play Xbox Live with multiple Accounts(No matter if they got Gold memship or not),Interactive Kinect, Multitasking and much more ;)
Pretty sure that the ps4 will get much more PG rated games in the future just like the most PS4 exclusives >:D
Sony won't get on Microsoft's lvl :P
BTW: Good luck for those who will buy stuffs with their credit card in the ps4-marketplace. Matter of time until the next credit card hackers appear...
