When it comes with a game, you're limiting your audience to one system. You also can only sell them to people who don't have the game. This may not seem like a problem, but it becomes one when its 3 months after launch, and you can't sell them because anyone who is a fan of the game has it.

This way, you can sell it to someone regardless of which console they own, and if someone really loves the game, they could get the collectors edition stuff later on. It's a better system actually.

That's a good explanation of... this. One caveat - how would DLC work? Get keys for all three platforms? Get master key, select platform with Capcom, get key?

 

I don't know exactly. I stopped working retail before this became a thing. But, a lot of times with DLC, the codes weren't in the box. The retailer would take your email address, and they would email the code to you. So, that could be the case, and you could tell them which console at the register. Also, it could be that you have to register the game with Capcom, and they'll email you the code. I'd guess it's one of those two things.
