Who would've thought that the God of War Collection would actually hit 2M?

Sadly,the Sly Collection isn't doing too good...but maybe Sly 4 will change that.

There is no point. He is only stating the obvious: that bundled software doesn't result in profit.

Sad GT5 second week numbers in America and Japan :(

great sales all round, would have preferred ps3 to be a bit higher. but for its price point its doing just fine

With next week's numbers, it'll cross 3.5 million and outsell God of War II. I am genuinely happy for the franchise, and I think God of War III is the best God of War game, but to outsell God of War II in such a short time doesn't feel right...it was one of the best fucking PS2 games ever made, and I prefer the story in it more than III. And if it keeps at this rate, its gonna outsell God of War 1 at the end of the year. Nice! God of War III deserves all the sales possible, one of my favorite ps3 game. I wonder if GoW Collection is actually expanding the userbase for GoW III or if it's just people buying Gow I and II again. I think Sony were extremely smart with releasing the collection..it probably did expand the fanbase.

Oh they really were. "Easy" money and they bundled the game this BF right? Opening doors for bigger sales for God of War III. Funny thing this week I was talking to a friend and how he wanted to play GoW III but wasn't going to buy it because he never played I and II... then I showed him GoW Collection, and now he's going to buy it. Would love to know how many of these are actually newcomers, but we will never know.

As I've said a few posts ago,he's also stating that this year,the software is being bundled more,compared to last year.

for me,it's okay numbers

holy shiy @ psp in JAPAN!

That's not really true.

The bundled software obv results in more HW sold, and the result is more profit.

By the way, there are ton of bundled software for PS360, too.

It's just more difficult to estimate the exact number of bundled software.

So nevertheless, there's no point.

Why are both of you assuming that a machine bundled with a game costs as much as the machine would without the game? The Wii's launch prices in countries it launched with Wii Sports compared to the ones it didn't tell a completely different story.

And where he gets his 2.2 million pieces of software from is just strange. Did he add up all the NSMB Wii, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort sales? That would account to 2.2 million. That's just plain silly, though, as only a fool would expect that anywhere near half - let alone all - of NSMB Wii's, and kind of Wii Sports Resort's, sales are from bundles.

I'd personally say a fairer number is 1054k from Wii, plus ~ 200k from both Wii Sports Resort and  Wii Sports Resort, as well as 50k from Mario Kart Wii in Europe, and possibly 50-100k from Wii Fit Plus is a fairer estimate. So around 1600k bundled software for the Wii, I'd say.

The 2.2 million figure seems kind of ridiculous.
