Your link doesn't work. Also the verb of sale is sell. From 6/15-9/21, 360 sales have been below 40,000 and it's been above 47,000 for the next 4 weeks. Look at yesteryear, the 360 only sold above 40,000 10 times for the last 5 months of the year and it will easily surpass that feat this year. Bundles are an incentive/gift to the customer and no, 9 bundles is not too much. The more choices the better, it's like Madden, people would like another choice for an NFL licensed game.The bundles are also spread out through the rest of the year, so they don't have to compete with each other when promoting the bundles. They have bundles for different target markets like the family/kids, casual, soccer fans, and hardcore players. Didn't they do bundles last year too, so it really doesn't change their strategy. Microsoft also has a strategy of selling their console at a loss and making money off games and accessories and a lot of people will probably pick up another controller (especially families) since most of the bundled games have co-op/multiplayer and hardcore players will probably pick up another game.
