microsoft fans have excuses ready for everything. excuses for when a ps3 exclusive sells well. excuses when ps3 passes the 360. excuses about ps3 outselling 360 every week. even excuses of ps3 hitting 70m about how sony have lost compared to last gen. always excuses. basically no matter what, sony are losers to these guys and that wont change because they dont have a choice of which console to own, rather they're stuck with their platform of choice.

I think the PS fans have generated far more excuses this gen then anybody else. Going from 1st to last place allows the bar to be lowered and a ton of compromises to be made. As a 2nd palce representative since 2006, there is no excuse because after all, we have been winning this whole time. It is you.
But on point, I see a double standard here. Forza bundles are looked down upon but Uncharted bundles are 100% A O K.
Sigh.....

Wait, Forza bundles are really looked down upon? What for? It's not like any game in that franchise outperforms GT5...
|
Well in reviews they all do :P. But this is about sales so....
IP sales for this gen hold their own. But dont pretend that the PS faction doesnt look down upon Forza due to its bundle sales. But when its Uncharted, bundles are totally fine I see...

As far as I'm concerned, bundles are fine no matter what game is involved. There's always the choice to get a console without any games bundled with (with very view exceptions, like with the Wii and Kinect for example). So, no matter how people attempt to spin it, if a bundle sells, it's because the customer wanted the game attached to it as well. No matter what motivation was behind that choice.
Now, unless we have the actual official amount of copies that are being bundled, these kind of discussions about bundled or not bundled games have next to no ground.

You can make estimates based on sales before bundles and sales spikes when bundles take effect. It shouldnt be 100% fact or nothing. Lets at least try to get in the "ballpark" of things. This industry doesnt give hard numbers so we have to do our best. Though I do agree with you calling the guy out on the 40% comment. Comments for me have to be based on something, even its a guesstimate
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
