Chart-Track: MGS4 had "minimal" impact on UK PS3 sales

meh -- thats only UK.

@Slimebeast.

Others got a 40gb PS3+MGS4 bundle to replace the GTA4+PS3 bundle. However i think the avaliblity of the bundle depends on retailers since buying a 40gb PS3 without MGS4 is cheaper (atleast it is in Australia $699 RRP vs $749 RRP)

North America got the 80gb PS3+ MGS4 bundle and the GunMetalGrayPS3(40gb)+ MGS4. However because the Gun Metal Gray PS3 was $599 and a 40gb model it was only avalible over the internet and only around 5,000 - 10,000 bundles were avalilbe.

Japan got a 40gb PS3+ MGS4 bundle and the GunMetalGrayPS3(40gb)+MGS4. Again the gun metal PS3 was very expensive and only avalilbe online. Stocks were around 5,000 and sold out about a month before MGS4 launched...

In the end I believe that MGS4 had a huge effect on Japan and on North America. Others as a whole it had a positive effect on -- Europe is already pro-PS3 so it had a minimal sales boost (hey PS3 has outsold 360 in LTD sales in Europe now) but in places like Asia and Australia the bundle should of sold alot. GTA4 PS3 bundle sold-out in Australia -- moving around 10,000 consoles ... (according to SONY and retailers).

Still PS3 should push nearly 300k units this week. Great sales considering PS3 sales last week let alone last year...
