Well, they shouldn't be counted as sales if you want to judge consumer driven choice, but they do mean there are now some 28,000 owners who game buy games, go online, buy BR movies, etc. which was obviously the idea. So they will impact, very likely positively, the local market.

I disagree. I mean it is pretty much just a bundle. Just the PS3 is bundled with the TV instead of a game with the PS3.  Some people might of been pushed to get that TV just because of the PS3.  It's something you can't really measure.

Good point.  If I were to consider forecasting sales I'd include a portion of the units but not all - i.e. I'd assign a (probably guestimate) percentage as pure TV sales that happened to drag the console and some as a PS3 or joint purchase sweetened by the offer.

If I was forecasting game sales I'd include most of them but drop a few and assume they were being used for movie playback only.
