| theprof00 said: Happy, I assure you that this thread is not about bundling. If you will not listen to reason I do not know what else to do. I will try with this little metaphor/microcosm. The thread is a joke thread about sony games, saying they only way actually sell is when Sony bundles their games heavily. OP further goes on to say that 'even so, does this strategy only result in Sony losing money'. The thread just cannot be about bundling. Why? Because all consoles are bundled. Hell, even all controllers get bundled at some point. Happy do some analysis here. If the thread is about bundling, then how can it be about sony, when all 3 bundle? If it is about Sony unable to sell its own games, then how can it be losing money on bundling them? Please, please, please listen to rationale. This is just a joke thread. It's not about bundling and the merits of it. There is no argument about bundling. As in, the argument does not exist. Bundling is sound strategy, always. Sales2099 was just coming in to say "peasant sony bundling on controllers, that's just disgusting", because he's differentiating the amount his console bundles. He's at least trying, because more xboxes have been bundled with games this gen, starting with the 199$ arcade. You were not on topic happy. stop. |
I understand your position, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't understand why you assume things about this thread, ever since you came in.
How are you certain it's a joke thread? If it's the concerns you mentioned, let me answer them:
- The thread is about bundling whether all consoles bundle or not. Whether consoles bundle or not doesn't change the fact that this thread is, truly, about bundling. Same logic for controllers.
- All 3 bundle, the question in OP related to the Sony's bundling measures, the extend, the nature of the titles bundled, and so on and so forth.
- If Sony is unable to sell its own games, then the bundling would be evidence that their games don't sell at a regular price. Simple as that. I don't say I agree that it automatically equates to that, but it's EVIDENCE for it, whether the theory ends up being correct or not.
Stop telling me to listen to rationale when you are NOT making sense. You're clear, that is true I read you very clearly, but you're off logic.
You don't know if this is a joke thread, his points may have merit and until it's debated we just don't know.
Bundling is NOT NECESSARILY a sound strategy IF the system could be sold at a higher price, that's called UNDERSELLING.
I was on topic, and I have no way to convince you, so this is my last reply to you. I realize you don't listen to reason. I read your PoV, I understand it and I DISAGREE.
Feel free to reply, if you decide to take a change of attitude feel free to PM me, but this is my last post on the matter with you ITT.
