@Ghost: How do you know that PES bundles aren't included in vgchartz numbers?

 

 because the gap between the 360 and PS3 version was too wide. And since its popular, the 360 weekly numbers should have risen a little, not go down.

That aside, even if your right, there was a Lego Indiana/Kung Fu bundle for both Europe and NA released last week that should be in the charts, but they arent. Even the Arcade Europe/NA Sega Tennis bundle is omitted.

Bundled software sales are still sales. Wii Sports counts, GT5: Prologue in Japan counts, yet these 360 bundled games dont for some reason.

The difference is, those X360 bundles are OPTIONAL... you are not forced to get them based on which model you want.

Wii Sports is given with every Wii in America and Europe (though not some "others" countries)

GT5P in Japan is given with all PS3s except the few that Little Big PLanet comes with, but that is more expensive and sells less.

Europeans are given the choice to buy an X360, or and X360 with Lego/KungFu.... but they choose it without those games (which I certainly would, Kung Fu Panda is not exactly high quality material)

Similarly they are not forced to buy the PES bundle, most PES sales will come from game copies only for people who had the console already, then a few might have wanted the game at the same time that they went to buy a X360 so they get the bundle.

 

Fair enough.

However, North America is a different story. All Arcades are now offering Sega Tennis. All Pros and Elites offer Lego Indiana/Kung Fu Panda. There is no option to buy without those games. Or at least the 360's that dont include them are selling out now.

Either way, ive seen these things sell. If those 3 games dont show up in the North American top 50 THIS week, something is wrong and Vgchartz has to correct it.
