would you buy a PS3 3 weeks before MGS4 comes out or MGS4 bundled with it on the day it comes out??

we both know the logical answer

before DW 6 came out last year 360 outsold Ps3 & PS3 was very low....the next week PS3 went to 50K

why because people went for the bundle instead of buying it a week before

your argument makes no sense..

Well, obviously bundle sales will increase the week of launch... Even then, look at data for other big games. Sales never seem to drop before release, at least not during the games I remember.

In two weeks we'll know for sure. I find it strange, that's all. If this game flops in Japan, there's a good chance the entire FF team at Square drops dead of a heart attack the next day. There are several companies with a lot riding on Sony's console in Japan.

Well the drop is like 2000. So you could say that this week 2000 people in japan decided to wait to buy a PS3 for 3 weeks and get a game they would like for free....

That's what I'm doing, and by doing it I'm lowering the UK PS3 sales this week by waiting another 3 weeks rather than buying now...
