Someone said that PS4 would win the holiday season thanks to the Fornite bundle because if kids ask for Fornite, having it on the cover of the system would make the choice easier.

Now we have the choice of buying to our kids Fortnite and not having the TV occupied.

Yup you can now tell your kids go to away, im watching a movie and they can now go back to their room with Fortnite. Parents of the world, you have an easy decision to make now

Did...Nintendo got jealous of Sony? Seriously, what is up with those companies on making bundles with free-to-play games? I know this is dead popular,but still...

But hey...first official third party bundle!

IKR? Aside from essentially functioning as an ad for the game in question, and, I suppose, some cross-brand synergy, it's totally meaningless for the end user.

Sony and Nintendo are using the age old product recognition tactic. Its aimed at kids and teens,this specifically anyways. Its for people that will buy this product based off the cover alone. Like when a kid buys a specific toothpaste,snack item,cereal because their favorite character is on the front,same deal. 

 

Smart by both Sony and Nintendo,capitalizes off that market in the same way they advertise to adults with spider-man bundles and Smash bundles

Gotta admit, I kind of like the idea. It will appeal to a lot of people and it makes sense business wise. Other than that I don't want/need it lol.



NINTENDO

Yes, that's pretty much exactly what I meant in my post. It's just branding. But in the absence of a bundled product that has any monetary value, it's just kinda weird. Like if Mcdonald's ran a "Buy a Big Mac, get a FREE cup of tap water" promotion. You can still get that tap water for free anyways. :)

Really clever especially with the Smash bundle on the way they're gearing up for a strong holiday.

If there's no good Black Friday deal, i can see myself picking this up. I wont be getting the Smash or Pokemon bundle as I'll want the physical copy of the games.

huh, a bundle for a free to play game? Is that a first?

No. Sony just did this a few months back with Fortnite

Wait is there really people thinking the Switch wont dominate the holidays ? I mean maybe it wont get BF but december is a no brainer for Switch even without this bundle or even Smash.
