You can thank Crap Ops 2 and Halo 4 for that.

COD PSP came out before the COD craze began and it didn't have a bundle.

COD PSP got better review than COD PSVita and the install base of PSP was much more bigger than psvita and someone don't interested by the COD bundle would buy the LBP bundle or  Assasin Creed bundle.

So discussion is low kowenicki? You care to comment on this previous post?

Looks like I was right about Animal Crossing being more of a system seller than Halo, CoD, AC3 due to respected consoles age.  Also, one more thing....  AC should only mean Animal Crossing because Assassin's Creed was merely a sperm in a nut sack when Animal Crossing was out.

Just imagine if BLOPS Declassified were a good game.

I don't it would really matter that much if it was a good game or not. Core gamers are buying the console versions.
Did you see how low pre-orders were for Declassified? This bundle was snatched up by casuals who don't pay attention to reviews.

I will agree with you that first week wouldn't matter much, but imagine this scenario: Blops: Declassified is a good game and the multiplayer is awesome. A few "die hards" or "casuals" pick up the game and start playing it at school/on bus/at work/wherever just to get their multiplayer CoD fix at any time or just to play a game they have on their system. Rabid cansole only CoD fans see other people playing it and enjoying it. This spreads worth of mouth since they're CoD fans , and boom goes the dynamite, rapid purchases.

Instead we get a game which no one will be playing for very long, so that scenario listed above, despite how improbable it would have been, is now gone.

Jeez, getting bombarded with PS3 and PSV ads on TV!

We'll see what happens. The game got really high sales for a Vita game with only a 30 metacritic score. No reason to believe it would affect its legs.

Which ads?
