here is the article...I thought it nice to know cause some poeple were saying the bundle did bad in AU.It also dismisses the MS claim for leading platform for GTA in AU .

"
You might have seen the local Microsoft press release that came out last week. Well, I want to tell you that that is completely wrong, because what they failed to communicate or add was the 5000 GTA PS3 bundles that were sold in that week. When you add that in, the PS3 SKU outsold the 360 SKU definitely. We can't comment on GTA numbers – just that one bundle and that PS3 outsold 360 at EB – and their figures aren't factored into GfK statistics."
It was a point that was reiterated by internal sales data from Australia's largest game retailer, EB. He continued, "The other thing I can tell you – and I feel comfortable telling you because I've asked them – EB, in the standalone data…across EB in Australia, the PS3 SKU outsold the Xbox 360 SKU too."
What all of this means is, Microsoft's initial claim of victory in the Australian marketplace during GTA IV's release week was misleading and premature. As soon as we have concrete figures, we can do a proper comparison.
"
at the end it says they will have the figures in near future.but 5000 bundles were sold,which contradicts what some people (starcraft)were saying about poor sales of the bundle in AU market.
P.S:this is not a comparison to VG numbers since their numbers recorded the first 3 days and it's 3700 which sounds about right,,,5000 is for the whole week.
