@leviathanwing@kane6911 It's a good deal and there are obvious savings but Kane is right to a degree. People see $429.99 and it's off putting in a sense, if they just listed the console with nothing for say $374.99 it would move a lot more units and look more appealing.
The illusion of saving is stringent on the price decreasing, not increasing. People don't see the games when they look at a bundle like this, they see "I'm paying $429.99 for a PlayStation 4", that's what this translates to for most people.
That is where Microsoft is getting it right, included games aside they are offering the cost of the system itself for $50 less than it normally costs, from $399.99 to $349.99. People see that and instantly it resonates, they're getting their system for $50 cheaper. Then you include the fact that it comes with two games on top of that and it's just a home run, it's a huge bang for your buck.
Even though the PlayStation 4 includes two games you still have to spend more money on it, not less, defeating the purpose of savings. With Microsoft and the Xbox One you're spending less completely reinforcing their pitch and the value of what they have to offer.
I think that is what he was trying to say.
