On Killzone 3

It was U$299 for the bundle, everyone was gonna buy a bundle instead of a Core 160GB if you could get a game for free, those VGC numbers look about right.

It can when the Killzone 160GB is $299 and the standalone 160GB PS3 is also $299.

Which one do you think people would buy?

That was a strong point.

Damn KZ3 looks overtracked in the U.S.A. Someone tell me I'm wrong!

Maybe you are wrong because NPD does't track the PS3 Killzone 3 bundle... VGC tracks.

357k may still to much even with bundle

Now that we're reporting on games at the title rather than SKU level, it's important to note several that sold well and would have made the top 10 on a SKU unit sales ranking basis. Those include Just Dance 2 on Wii, Killzone 3 on PS3, and Zumba Fitness on Wii."

maybe,but i dont think bundle can sold that much

It can when the Killzone 160GB is $299 and the standalone 160GB PS3 is also $299.

if it's easy to buy

i remember this bundle already over 299 in amazon at March

Of course it is. The 160GB SKU sells best because it costs less than the 320GB SKU, PS3 sold over 300k for the month, most of those undoubtedly being the $299 KZ2 160GB SKU.

Then you factor in standalone Killzone 3 sales on top of that.

I believe it was recently discontinued.

Those bundles you see for $350 and up are from 3rd party sellers, not Amazon, which explains the higher price.

Okay let's not push it. We all know Sony messed up with Killzone 3 big time. Despite it being the best game this year so far .It barely had any advertising. Second Killzone 2 was really hyped and critics aprreciated the game a lot but not the people. Now Killzone 3 didn't get as good reviews as Killzone 2 and games like Homefront (which was total crap) got a lot of hype. Therefore I don't expect Killzone 3 to get moster sales. But sure the bundle did make a difference. But if I'm not mistaken the bundle was there for a limited time.
