| Scisca said: I think that in the long term it's not bad. Like Proclus said, these people are tempted into buying DLCs (this is also true for PS+! Damn, do I feel the urge to buy a few DLCs for my free games...). Additionally such bundles increase the HW sales, so more people have the console and will eventually buy other games. It works, since recently there are more and more multiplatform games that sell better on PS3 than on X360, something that didn't happen some time ago. Just see Far Cry 3 or ACIII, and these are not the only examples. It does give a return later on. |
While I fully agree with ACIII on the PS3 selling more than the 360 version, I just have to stop you there. 
While it's fully possible that the PS3 version of Far Cry 3 is going to outsell the 360 version, it's not dead-set.
Far Cry has always sold more in the U.S than in Europe, so really we'd have to wait and see what kind of numbers it does when it releases there, and whether it's going to be on the 360's side (Like Far Cry 3) or the PS3's side. 
... To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I just went off-topic with this.
