I guess that makes sense. That is the entire point of marketing rights after all. Although they can do what Microsoft has done many times and offer a "free game" and let that free game be Minecraft. Truly fascinating. Then again perhaps whatever contract allowed PS to "have" Minecraft in the first place - also allows it to bundle it however they see fit? Hard to guess how a "third party" game that released on Playstation then became a "second party" (or first if you prefer) game afterwards would act. If Playstation had the rights to "bundle" it before, they probably got to keep those after. Why bundle it now though? Was there ever a Vita bundle? I think a Vita bundle would have sold amazing before it came out on switch. It would have been the only "portable" (ignoring Android/IOS) version of the game. IF they do have to pay for the bundling that explains why they haven't done it before. But why now? |
If you look at Sony's PS4 bundles they don't have a kid friendly bundle. So maybe why they bundled Minecraft. IMO they should have went with a R&C and Knack 2 bundle instead.
