That might be true in some regions, not all. Anyhow, I doubt MS is paying hundreds of millions to bundle digital copies. They probably make a deal with a compny like EA to distribute digital copies at a heavily discounted price. For example, Sony and MS pay a discounted price to give away "free games" on PS+ and GwG. We can assume MS pays even less to bundle games they published. |
Either way its costing them big, TF Madden all the first party free games. Any way you add it up its a cost they are forced to eat out of necessity. As its proven they cant compete with PS4 on a even footing, they need that advantage. Last big promo of theirs was 2 free games, that had to cost a nice chunk of change.
Its costing them big, no doubt about that.
