Resistance FOM was heavily bundled. Without counting the bundles, R2 sold just as well as RFOM.

Was Resistance heavily bundled? I assumed people just bought Resistance at launch since it was the only really good game to be released until Motorstorm, and then after that it took about a year for the console to take off SW-wise.

It actually was some places, when I got my PS3 it came with Resistance and Motorstorm.

I know Motorstorm was bundled when they upgraded the hard-drive, but I don't remember any Resistance bundle. If it was bundled, I bet it was bundled late after launch. Still R2 sold significantly less the R1:FOM, I don't think the difference was just bundles, but more competition as well.

Resistance and Motorstorm were bundled together and to this day they are also the best selling of all PS3 bundles.

Hard to say now because of the missing graphs function and I think there were some adjustments, but the last time I calculated the bundles (in early 2009 I think) they accounted for around 1.5-2m sales each.

I'll take your word for it, you seem honest. Motorstorm Pacific Rift was also bundled. It's sad great games like these need bundles to boost sales, and games like Halo do it essentially trouble free.
