Agreed and here is the even more relevant point...no one is FORCED to buy the bundle. It will not be the only option. So if someone CHOOSES to buy the bundle witht he game then that is what they wanted that game. I never bought a LBP PS bundle nor a GT ps bundle when they were available. Because while they are great games they are not my cup of tea.

My point being rather a game is bundled or not a sale is a sale because someone CHOSE to buy the bundle over the standalone because it came with a game they wanted. The bundle argument isilly and always has been....period.

I disagree, say MSFT put Ryse in a bundle during this past holiday season. Would we all say those sales are stand alone from the games merits. There were several games receiving inflated sales this holiday due to being packed in during the highest selling time of the year. 


If a game is bundled and he price of the game is added to the console like Sony does it (Barrinf the newest deal where you get TLOU free) then I'd count it as a legit sale for the game.

 

But if the game is bundled for free with the console then it's unfairly inflating the sales of the game, as MS did with Titanfall, Forza 5, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: MCC.
