Wait, nvm, I thought Hero time said 300k first week not LTD.

In that case End of Eternity will. ToV could. Bayonetta probably not since Platinum Games/Clover aren't that popular...

 

 DMC 1 sold 650k though.

 

That might as well have been a lifetime ago with how much the Japanese market has changed from then to now. 

 

True. Plus they don't seem to have the "Clover curse" X_X

Also, GT5 can pull off 1 mil in Japan. GT5P sold 670k...

It was 200k or 300k before bundling, I can't really remember.

It sold 300k before bundling. However, many also picked up the game because they released "The Best" version of GT5P at a budget price. So, while the bundles helped, many bought just the game.

I'm sure it sold in the realm of Metal Gear Solid 4 because the Japanese market just thought it was a compelling game. More realistically, bundles bundles bundles.

Well, the bundle released on October 30th. (same day as LBP bundle and GTA4) The game sold 33k that week and HW was 38k. Obviously most bought the game for itself rather than the bundle.

I'm not saying it didn't help a lot, it did, but it would have sold 500k regardless.
