MS has had a ton of bundles every year. 

Why is it now magically bundles are suddendly the difference? They have things like that Madden bundle every year. 

How does this refute my argument? As a I recall, there wasn't any Gears 4 bundles or Battlefield 1 bundles in 2015...

It refutes it because MS has these types of bundles every year. There's nothing special about the bundles they did this year. 

You're going to get one third party centric bundle(s) from MS every year. This year tha was Battlefield 1. And one first party one as well. This year that was Gears. And the sometimes they'll throw in a "family/kids" centric bundle option (this year it's Minecraft). Then they always also do the Madden and (in Europe) FIFA bundles. 

That's a standard MS thing.
