I was curious to see why PS4 is tanking at Gamestop and came across a variety of pre-owned bundles on the webstore that seem to be relatively recent with comments on them no later than 2 months old and most seem to be within the past month.

Pretty easy to see why the $299 SKU PS4 isn't nearly as high on Gamestop as it was in April/May after all these pre-owned bundles came out.

Question is: Did these bundles already exist in April or May? If they did, then why didn't they affect sales negatively before?

Not necessarily bundles, but the pre-owned hardware already existed before and their sales should get more tractions we advance in the gen. I wouldn’t bet on the used sales to make a difference, trade offers can have a better leverage on sales.
