also, nice, but again, not relevent to the discussion of this thread.  Why don't we stick to the thread topic, yes?  

It's very much relevant. The sales wouldn't be this high (or low) without these kind of deals. Therefor they should be factored in.

How many games are given away for "free" on PSN Plus? You think Sony doesn't have to pay third parties for that?

That's not the reason sony and Microsoft are in the red.  The reason is hardware not software.
