If we don't know how limited, then how can we tell if they will be huge?

Because every GameStop in my city is sold out of Call of Duty MW2 Prestige Editions for 360. They had more than 50 per store with about 6 locations.... and that's JUST the Prestige Edition. The other editions had more than 100+ reserved per store...

With that being the case, I'd say the limited amount will still be around 100k or more. I know this is just a guess, but MW2 in the States and on 360 is a force to be reckoned with. Which would be quite "huge" if you ask me.

Everywhere i know has also sold out of the Prestige Editions. The game sales themself will be beyond huge...

But for all we know there could only be what... 50k Limited Edition 360's? All im saying is dont overhype the thing when we don't even know how many there are.

@chazy...
I doubt a multiplat bundle will change which console the fanboys would take a bullet for.

The week of Modern Warfare 2 release expect the 360 to outsell the PS3. I too am getting the bundle.

Going by the op's logic,Just because you said that, I am going to say that this bundle will sell "monstrously" to existing 360 owners.

So your friend who is a huge PS fanboy and wouldn't think of trying a 360 is now giving away his beloved console and games in order to buy a console which he previously had no intention of even trying simply because of a bundle which includes a multiplatform game which he could have bought on his previously much loved PS3? ermmmmm.......

So...

1. There's no way you could be making this up (let's not pretend that you aren't a bit 360 biased).

2. There's no way that your friend could be strangely spontaneous (seriously, why give away his PS3 to buy a 360 so he could play a game he could play on his PS3 anyways?).

3. There's no way that this isn't representative of huge market trends (numbers in the hundred-thousands or more).
