This boost sony is having wont last forever, the fact remains that apart from god of war and gran turismo, none of their first party exclusive franchises have reached critical penetration. UNCHARTED2 will likely bomb like the first.


If 2.5 million is now being considered bombing, then I hope the second one bombs like he first one as well

It "sold" that amount through aggressive bundling, just like viva pinata


So how much did the bundling increase the total by then?

 

Well it didnt even make the top 10 in the november 2007 NPD's (it released on nov 17) Meaning it sold less than 370,000 units in its first month. Considering the front loaded nature of HD title sales this generation, I'd say bundling accounts for the vast majority of its ostensive sales.

Well it wasnt even bundled until November of last year when it already had 1.75 million sales, and it was only bundled with the 160GB PS3.   So that would leave only a possibility of 750K to be made up by bundles.  And I highly doubt that all 750K were sold only by bundling, but even if it were 750k is far from the vast majority that you are claiming.  One also has to consider that this was one of the first games to get trophies, and when it did get trophies it saw a huge spike in sales.   So stop considering the nature of the generation and start looking up the number before talking out your ass.
