Pretty bold move to be honest.

Every Xbox One Pre Order will come with a digital copy of Fifa 14.
I'm more interested in the Xbox exclusive Legends mode, which includes greats from the past to add to your team. The list includes players like Péle , Van Basten and Micheal Owen .

I will do ANYTHING to have a team with an Arsenal legend on it, and included are Dennis Bergkamp , Patrick Viera , Sol Campbell , Freddie Ljungberg , David Seaman , and crazy old Jens Lehmann . AND Robert Pirés . They also have Davor Suker, who wasn't really an Arsenal legend but was a great player for other clubs too .
I was never gonna buy Fifa 14 because too much of my time would be taken up by AC4, Watch Dogs and the like but I'm now very interested in playing it regularly. Impressive news.
EDIT: Pirés too
Fifa 14 Free with XB1 pre orders

Could put Owen or something alongside him and then add some English players.

Certainly interesting, would be interested to see the difference between the 360 and ONE version tbh, with these games i think it will be very minimal. Good business plan as well to try and get some ground back on the PS4.

microsoft doing what they can to ruin the game market again

This is a good marketing move from Microsoft, but people forgetting that the PS4 is about £100(?) cheaper so you will be able to buy FIFA 14 with the money you saved.
And the legends thing is disappointing not to have on PS4 but I could never afford them anyway and they will probably be really OP and a pain in the asss to play against.

Don't think it is anymore, Xbox are selling the console without the kinect for around the same price now I believe

1) I'm not pre ordering as have PS3 games to play (TLOU, GTAV, GT6, Ibb and obb) to play
2) As noted above would still be cheaper to buy PS4 and Fifa
3) Really don't care about there being some ex players that I couldn't afford but would probably keep coming up against and getting torn apart by.
4) Have no need for a kinect and wouldn't appreciate having a camera placed in my front room

*£80
"2) As noted above would still be cheaper to buy PS4 and Fifa"
Not by much though. Probably around £40 difference. Microsoft have certainly closed the gap.
"4) Have no need for a kinect and wouldn't appreciate having a camera placed in my front room"
It can be disconnected...
Everyone who I know who is paranoid about the kinect seems to have no problem in owning phones, laptops, and nowadays even TV's with cameras for some reason

Either way I'm paying for something I don't want and won't use and can't resell.

All moot points anyway as like I said I'm not pre ordering and it will probably be February time before I get round to buying either console.
When that time comes, prices may have dropped/different bundles will be available for both consoles.
The people I play with may have already opted for one over the other.
Either may have been involved in some sort of scandal (e.g. Sony hacking/Microsoft NSA)

I won't be pre-ordering any of them, will wait for the price to drop considerably and buy some bundle like
Console + 2 Controllers + A couple of games(1 of which will be FIFA 14) for cheaper than pre ordering a console now
I think most peoples problem with Kinect, is that it's a feature that the majority of people will use once then forget about, but it is adding £100 to the price of the console.
