"PlayStation 4 Call of Duty: Black Ops III bundle accounted for more than 90% of all PlayStation 4 units sold in the US last month." - ZhugeEX

Whatever Sony payed for that bundle deal, was probably worth it.

I dont think PS4 sales would have collapsed without BO3 bundle... how much extra PS4 sold due to BO3 bundles is a little hard to imagine. The only criterea we can use is that if a new multiplatform shooter launch then does it sell more on PS4 in USA or not.. and has Sony managed to get a bigger chunk of shooter fan base then the competitor.

PS3 collapse is monstrous. I wander if Sony itself pulling the plug on PS3 due to it having smaller profit margins or market/retailers are rejecting it. 

I think it's a combination of both. After Holiday 2015, Sony doesn't give a shit about anything that's not the PS4 or the PS4K or the PSVR.

If you go to major USA video game retailers....many of them no longer stock the PlayStation 3.

You can't even find PS3 consoles online anymore.
