Uncharted did make 2 million before bundles!

 

 

I know. What I meant was that it is doubtful that Motorstorm or Resistance would have made 2M without bundles. Then 2 other games have also made 2M, Uncharted and GT5:P (was that bundled btw?)

Well that's just not true either. Resistance 1 was bundled for a very brief time in 2007 and amassed less than 200k in sales through the bundles. The game is over 3 million. Motorstorm is the only case you have.

That's just not true. In Europe, every 60GB PS3 was bundled with Motorstorm and Resistance until other SKU's were announced.

Resistance was in a bundle for 3 months. From July to September, Sony put Motorstorm and Resistance in a bundle only in Europe.

Adding the sales from week ending July 14th to October 20th is 681,750 units, and customers in the UK didn't have to get RFOM and Motorstorm, they had a choice.

So the bundles have accounted for ~37% (out of a total 1.87 mil) of Resistance's sales in EU.

The bundle started July 13th. And the Starter Pack was dwindling in supply in late August. I gave you two weeks in July and three weeks in October. It was cancelled for PAL territories outside of EU in September and was stopped in production on October 5th.

Cancelling link:

This was an effort to get rid of the 60gb backstock in favor of the 80gb model.

 

I am more than generous in my amounts.
