I meant worldwide.

The only instance of "heavy" bundling took place over last holiday season in NA. Even then, it was only the more expensive SKU that included the game. The game managed to sell 2 million up until that point worldwide.

And I take it you don't trust our numbers?

Just wanted to mention that it was heavily bundled in Europe as part of the PS3 "Starter Pack"

I did forget about this bundle.  However, this was one of several bundles, was it not?  All of which were well over the normal MSRP of a ps3.  They had the Resistance + MotorStorm bundle, the GT5P bundle, various Blu-Ray bundles, the MGS4 bundle, F1 bundle, etc. etc.

I mean, given all the bundles out there, I can't see one game or another having enjoyed too much of a boost in sales as a result.

Now the MotorStorm bundle in North America, THAT bundle added substantially to the games sales.  It was the only bundle around and the more popular SKU due to BC, so it sold a ton.

In almost all of PAL the "Starter Pack" was the only means by which you could purchase a PS3 for a substantial period of time.
