Sony has announced that it is running a major new Critic's Choice and Oscar sale for the PlayStation 4, the PS3 and the Vita, and Microsoft has chosen the same day to confirm the existence of the already rumored Ultimate Game sale for the Xbox One and the 360.

The official site has a clear list of all the titles that will be included, which seem to be those that were mentioned in a leak earlier in the week.

Microsoft says that the savings for those who pick up the 31 games offered on the Xbox One will be bigger than 700 dollars (560 Euro).

Gamers who have the Xbox Live Gold subscription active can get all the content for an even lower price.

There are also some special deals included in the Ultimate Games Sale which will be activated when the weekend rolls around.

Both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 need regular sales in order to keep gamers interested and make sure that they can get access to titles they might have missed when they were first introduced.

Big promotions for the two platforms also help the industry during the first few months of the year, when sales tend to be smaller because less big titles are launched.
