Other interesting ltds...

- Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Namco) --- 95,002 + 128,414 = 223,416

- Beautiful Katamari (Namco) --- 24,949 + 115,658 = 140,607

- Halo 3 (MGS) --- 83,696 + 25,508 = 116,204

- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (SCE) --- 38,242 + 39,679 = 77,921

 

AC6, Katamari, COD4 and Valkyria all got amazing gains off their BEST/Platinum releases.  Kenzan and Mingol 5 are both actually fairly disappointing though imo, as both series tended to do dramatically better with their previous BEST releases on PS2/PSP (in some cases even doubling ltds).  Everything else did okay, except Samurai Dou 3 (which even had significant extra content added).

Well don't forget that last year's 360 holiday bundle was AC6/Katamari, so I'm sure that accounted for some of the increased sales. This year's holiday bundle has AC6 again and Lost Planet: Colonies.

@leo-j: He's probably referring to the Japan Preview estimate for FF13.

Eh, given the history of both Japanese 360 sales and Japanese bundle sales, I'd wager that they accounted for less than 50k.  Still a sizable amount most likely, but not near the majority.
