Console bundles are one thing, but bundling games with controllers shows desperation IMO. Good for the gamer im sure, but it means that the business isn't doing so good that they have to give away their best games for essential purchases like a controller. Nevermind the console bundles. Forza bundles got nothing on the amount of Uncharted and Infamous bundling Sony is doing. |
Here is a very simple explination for these bundles. One all of these games are at least 2 years old two the company is likely losing money from people buying these titles used. Lastly, all of these games have sequels worth buying and Sony believes that people will want to continue the series if they enjoy the game. So now they have sold another copy of Uncharted 3, God of War 3 or God of War Origins, Ratchet and Clank TOD, Quest for Booty, All for One, the Original Trilogy or Full Frontal Assault, and finally Little Big Planet 2, Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves, or Little Big Planet Racing.
Customer feels like they are getting a good deal so Sony builds satifisfaction and loyalty with their products and they generate future sales.
Bundles are genius, samething as what they do with Playstation Plus they offer free games usually with lots of DLC or from third parties to get word of mouth marketing out. Or to encourage you to buy a whole series. This worked on me when they gave me Back to the Future and worked again when they gave me Walking Dead.
Bundles and free games are awesome and they sell systems. Why else do you think that all three systems have pretty much done this from launch. These decisions make plenty of sense it is this thread that doesn't.
