MGS4 raised PS3 sales in UK (for launch week) by only 7% acording to ChartTrack (which covers 90% of UK market). So I really doubt that US growth is due to MGS4 release. 80GB bundle did it not the game itself.

Except MGS4 launch increased sales in Japan by 600%+.

America is somewhere in between the two extremes, because it was already in between the two extremes in hardware sales (Japan was terrible, Europe already strong). An increase of ~75% for the game and bundle seems about right.
