| TheBlackNaruto said: The bundle argument has always bothered me......like for instance that year around Holidays when they were doing the Infamous and something else bundle for PS3 I was getting my nephew a PS3 for Christmas BUT I was also giving him those games of mine all I could find was that bundle for a little while so guess what I did...I DIDN"T GET THE BUNDLE....you are not FORCED to buy a bundle. You get it IF YOU WANT IT...so why people feel as if a bundle somehow takes away from the sales of a game is beyond me...most bundles that are bought are bought because someone wanted that game. There have been numerous PS4 bundles and I did not have one but guess what I didn't get any of them I got the one I wanted with the game I wanted the LE UC4 bundle. I just wish we would let the bundle crap die because it helps nothing and proves nothing...imo that is anyway...Sorry for the off topic rant....congrats again to ND |
But that's not true for everyone. Sometimes the only hardware SKU available is one bundled with a game you might not want. Right now the cheapest PS4 hardware SKU you can buy in the US is the Black Ops III bundle. That means there's a bunch of people that will end up with a copy of CoD but aren't interested in it and wouldn't have bought the game otherwise. So it depends on the kind of bundle we're talking about. Limited bundles like the one U4 or Halo 5 had are very much bought by people who want the game so those should count but let's not pretend like all 80m sales of Wii Sports come from people who wanted the game. There's a difference between forced bundling (which is usually a game bundled with the cheapest SKU) and premium bundling (which have a higher cost that more than covers the price of the bundled game anyway).
