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 am so confuse about this Nintendo copying Sony again... Hasn't Nintendo always made bundled consoles?

 

AFAIK N64 was sold without games bundled.

Close, but I believe it was bundled with SM64 in france. And there was a DK64 bundle afair

  

I should have said "at the first years of it's lifetime" but you are right. It's probable that every console has had bundles sometime in their shelf life.
