Sony relying on heavily bundled and/or deep discount just to get games into million sellers list?

It is not a bad thing in the customers' side. We get more bang for our bucks with either a "free" game or half-priced game very early on the new releases. However, is Sony just cutting into their profit when they utilize this way too often?

So much so that Nintendo is following their footsteps. Yes, Nintendo is copying Sony, again.

The difference is that Nintendo managed to sell those "free" games at (near) full price for years.

I fail to see the point of this thread?

Let me explain it to you....... after so many years on a vg sales site you should know. ffs

Video game consoles are sold to make profit on games. It's the catridge business strategy where you sell the console to sell many more games (otherwise the games would be pre-loaded).

If games are bundled, there will be no profit made with the bundled game.

OP is arguing whether this strategy is a solid one. Now discuss.

Of course it isn't a bad thing, look at the sales ffs. Sony gets more consoles in households and the consumer gets good games. I fail to see any problem with this?
