Sorry guys, there are bundles every year yes, but most bundles are not on par with the value that Sony gave its PS3 bundles this year, the rate of sellout of them backs it up, this sales boost is pretty much a one time thing, the other bundles this year won't have this effect, yes the christmas weekend has a chance of getting up to this level, but I don't see it doing 50K plus better Carl, likely it'll be around this weeks level. The reason why NA Sales matter Letsdance, is because sales boosts in Others and Japan won't be able to get it any where near 1 million, you have to see a sizable boost in NA to get up to that. PS3 isn't the leading console Stever, not even close, so you can't say it'll see sales boosts as the leading console, since its not the leading console.

Or it could just be people really want a PS3 now that its $299.

Sorry but you cant blame Sony for bundling "better games" if they have them to bundle. LBP is a year old game. Batman AA ties in with the dark knight to show off the BD feature of the PS3. Infamous and KZ2 are great exclusives one being 10 months old the other being 6 months old.

It could just be people wanted the products more because they see more value in it.

Not to mention we dont even know how many bundles were available to make this argument that it inflated the numbers so much.

Oh and can i also mention that the 360 had MW2 bundle. Please stop.

Bundles are moot. Just face it.


  Nope, MW2 bundle won't have as much effect on 360 due to Halo, as the FPS is well represented on 360, another FPS won't push as much hardware.

 

Not blaming Sony, just pointing out that they succeeeded in inflating sales withtheir bundles, its a good job for them, but it does distort
