Alright, lets not move goalposts. The XB1 with the Madden bundled had a 58% increase that week in the US, with the PS4 having 16%. The week FIFA launched, sales actually decreased 19% for both consoles. There, argument over, you can check for yourself. |
You can't isolate weeks and call it a victory because it suits your narrative. You have to look at what else may be causing those sales to drop. FIFA, the game based on the least popular sport in the US, released a week after Taken King, a largely well received expansion to Destiny. That explains the sales drop better than your argument. Madden 16 shows that the bundle there helped XB1. So congratulations, you are right about that one. So far though that is the exception, not the rule in regards to the bundling and marketing for XB1.
Also, casuals aren't always day 1 buyers. They fall into those holes you are looking into as to why consoles continue to sell without games releasing in those timeframes.
