Fortunately for us, the leaks had shown that bundle sales were significant contributors to the total sales of the first-party games for PlayStation.

Horizon Zero Dawn in the US, for example, had around 37% of total units sold by bundle sales.

Keep into account, Horizon Zero Dawn is the high end, other tentpoles like God of War, Gran Turismo Sport, and SpiderMan were closer to 20% bundled. In the case of SM and GOW, both games still comfortably clear 20M+ lifetime without bundles.

Now we have Sony games clearing 10M+ in a few months, Helldivers 2 blowing as the next big multiplayer hit, and Astro pushing closer to 100M players. The bundled argument, like the deep discounts, is going to age like milk lol. 

Right. It's disingenuous, particularly when every company bundles games. Very much why, for me, the buck stops with that and why I get strict when I see that thrown about here.
