They are not similar and you could have seen this coming from a mile away but I'm still going to repeat myself.
MGS4 bundle in Others is no better than GTA4 bundle so there was no reason for people to wait for it.
If you look at Others sales data for the last 3 months they have been averaging 118k/week compared to 85k/week before that period. So there has been a huge prolonged hardware spike there that started with the release of GT5P.
NA is very different.
There was no GTA4 bundle in NA.
MGS4 bundle marks the reintroduction of the 80Gb backware compatible.
The NA bundle includes a dual shock and is actually a very good deal financially.
