Those are MS sponsored deals. Retailers wouldn't all unite at once to give away free Xbox games. Chances are, most of the deals you've been seeing like that are vendor sponsored anyway. Retailers don't get much back from selling games, especially hardware. Retailers usually discount games that don't move, not give them away. They'd eat up too much of the cost. Or, worst case scenario, return them to the vendor. |
In that case deals like that don't run for long and Ms/Sony probably see the loss incurred worth the disruption of the launch of the official bundle. In which case you were also right with your first statement.
