The POTENTIAL loss is $60 because that is the MSRP of the game. We're talking revenue, not profits. Also Business/Economics 101.

This means POTENTIALLY 2 million consumers will not purchase the game for $60 because it is included for free. Clearly there are other intangibles when discussing consumer products. PSN+, Season Pass, etc; But at $199, you're looking at a demo that isn't necessarily in the market for such things. 

The potential loss isn't 60 because that's not what spiderman is valued at now. They are bundling in a game that's currently on sale.

 

Regardless, potential loss does not equal actual loss so your are 100% wrong for factoring in spiderman to say the 199 ps4 is sold at a loss. Simply not true. Business 101.

Welp, I guess all businesses should adopt your philosophy then. Include software and/or other goods that cost hundreds of millions in development and mareting for free. Somehow profit/revenue from said investment is no longer pertinent. Everyone has been doing it wrong all along!!
