| rocketpig said: There was, but it was not in every country, and in most places you got a choice of 6 games or so (of which those two were the best) and also look at Insomniac for turn arount times Either way, a significant portion of MS's sales probably came from bundles. Even Insomniac has a two year turnaround on its games. 12 months would be insane. |
Not really. The bundle was available for 3 months in Europe. I had to school selnor for saying that R:FOM got 90% of its sales from bundles when in reality it got 240k from bundles (VGC numbers).
Here is what I told selnor.
Resistance was in a bundle for 3 months. From July to September, Sony put Motorstorm and Resistance in a bundle only in Europe.
Adding the sales from week ending July 7th to September 29th is 240,776 units. People love to undermine the PS3.
So the bundles have accounted for ~17% (out of a total 1.45 mil) of Resistance's sales in EU. Thats discounting the 1 mil in US as well.
The bundle started July 13th. And the Starter Pack was dwindling in supply in early August. I gave you two extra weeks in July and the whole month of September.
According to VGC, Motorstorm sold 271,114 using my above method. The bundle has accounted for ~19% (out of a total 1,427,997) of Motorstorm "Others" sales. I bid adeiu.
