There is only one bundle which is only available in North America. 3. It's $50 more than the cost of a PS3 (160gb) which is plentiful of space but people are buying it due to the fact that it's from a critically acclaimed series and a critically acclaimed game. People aren't just going spend $50 for more space. 4. It's a system seller... PS3 just had it's biggest November in the the U.S.A. (by a large margin) and the deals were worse than 360 and Wii despite that it sold more than the Wii in the U.S.A. |
I'm not arguing about how much of Uncharted 3's sales are due to bundling. It may not be a ton. I know that, in my district, UC3 was used to push PS3's exaclty because of this bundle.
The GEars 3 bundle was not even a third as numerous as the UC3 bundle was, though. Let's be clear on that point.
Edit: To illustrate the point, there are still plenty of inFAMOUS 2 bundles floating around, but nobody really wants them. It's definitely a case of Uncharted pushing the bundle more than the bundle pushing Uncharted, though some careful marketing and handselling with the Uncharted DOuble Pack has definitely helped.
