The Titanfall bundle is undoubtedly a limited release SKU (all bundles are naturally).
MS can print more if they want/need to since it's just a matter of the Titanfall box and a voucher for the download, but they don't want to make this available for too long because without a price cut on the basic SKU, the only people who wouldn't buy the Titanfall bundle would be those who explicitly choose not to get a free copy of the game.
Plus, I'm sure MS would like to see more retail copies moved (as would retailers) than the current 3.5m XB1 user base, and that's making the unrealistic, mighty assumption that every current XB1 owner will buy Titanfall.
MS wants to hold off on price cuts on the basic SKU for as long as humanly possible, which points to the likelihood of a fairly limited release of the bundle.
I'd like to know the numbers, but if I had to make an uneducated guess, it would be anywhere from 500k (doubtful) to 1.5m with somewhere in between being the likely number.
It would almost be beneficial for MS to release the numbers themselves to create additional demand (pre-order and reserve now or risk losing out on a good deal), but my guess would be that they want to keep that number somewhat flexible to match consumer demand once the SKU releases. |
there is more than a 1000 bundles on amazon uk/us

1,000 bundles? That's nothing, even for just Amazon. I seriously hope they're planning on producing considerably more than that.
If they're gone too fast, the effect (the consumer rush effect on a perceived good deal) will be minimalized.
