It is a better package when you stack a $50 discount on a $500 MSRP console and add a $60 game to the package.
Some retailers are offering free games other than Titanfall along with the $50 discount, so this isn't only for consumers who wanted to play Titanfall on a new console.
The problem is, most consumers are simply looking at the $399 MSRP of the PS4 added to the public perception that the PS4 is the new console to buy for those who are truly on the fence and have no particular brand loyalty.
As someone who already bought a PS4 with light gaming habits, I don't think even a $399 XB1 would be enough to entice me to pick up a second new console, mostly because there aren't any games I'd be playing on it currently (I had no intention of buying Titanfall for my PC or XB360). The majority of console gamers seem to stick with one platform each generation whether it's due to time constraints (only a minority of gamers treat gaming like a part time job) or they just don't want to have to buy a console to play a few games that aren't on their console.
But if you were on the fence over which to buy, were in the market for a new console and had interest in Titanfall, the current deals you can pick up make it a much easier decision.
