Those two numbers are the only ones that matter (bolded). MGS3 was a prequel that a few were impressed with. (Came around the same time as Halo 2, so no one noticed that MGS3 was out other than the hardcore fans.) MGS4 will likely hit 5 million Lifetime, maybe even 6 million.
The bundle will have a small impact in Japan, but the US and Europe is a different story.
