Perhaps. Still, even bundles will raise brand awareness and cause interest in the IP. I honestly think that, if the game is any good, it will have solid sales outside the bundle.

It might sell well in USA as its a shooter, but I don't see it doing too well. It also has a review embargo till a day before its release, so that will hurt sales if its a good game. Though I don't expect it to be any good.

Release embargos a day before release aren't too bad, it's the ones that are on release that you have to watch out for.

Any way, I think Microsoft's advetising strength can probably push a lot more SO copies/bundles than people are expecting.

I could be wrong though, we won't know until the game is out.

They are not a bad indicator about the quality of the game, but if the game is good, they do have an effect on its sales as many would buy it when its new if they already know about how well it has scored. Even review embargoes on the day of a game's release aren't any indicator of their quality.

Besides I don't think the game will be good. Insomniac's last two games were mediocre at best.
