There is nothing wrong with bundling, its business. Super Mario wouldn't have become as big as it was in the 80's and 90's without bundling. MS took the risk but they knew Insomniac was a great developer even though they aren't a top tier developer and their games could fill their ranks in the same way they filled Sony's ranks in the past. Unlike Sony, Microsoft cannot creatively afford to replace them with their internal devs. Sony creatively can even though they cannot outspend Microsoft.

I didn't say there is anything wrong with bundling. Obviously a game that bundled its way to a million doesn't deserve the same praise of sales as a million seller with little or no bundling. That's just common sense.

Mario would have been a hit even without bundling. Bundling isn't going to make the masses care about Knack.

Sony is also very reliant on 3rd parties, which is why they just money hatted Street Fighter and relying on From Software for Bloodborne. Sony makes good games but I wouldn't call them creative. Their last hit was a survial horror zombie game, that's very low risk and hardly creative. Driveclub also not a great example of creativity.
