@Joe80, A little bit correction : DMC 4 is released on Feb 5 (US), so it is Feb vs March, not Jan vs March as you mentioned. In launch month, weekly rate of DMC3's first 5 weeks is roughly 15% lower than weekly rate of DMC4's first 4 weeks. This is normal since the 5th week is usually lower than average of Week 1 - Week 4, so there is no discernible difference between Feb and March.
Since I was comparing first month of DMC3 vs first month of DMC4, the fact that DMC3 has "second wind" from special edition is not relevant (it is only relevant when we compare GLS).
I agree that PS3 userbase at DMC4 release will be smaller than PS3 userbase at GOW3 release. Whether it will be twice more or not, we couldn't predict (since there is no fixed release date yet), but I am sure you know that doubling PS3 (or any console) userbase doesn't mean doubling game sales. If you compare sales for X360 S/W, you would notice that doubling X360 H/W userbase didn't result in double the game GLS.
Therefore, my point that this stock is overpriced still stand.
@Heloise10, I couldn't really comment on the bundling possibility, but I know that it is there, and I have a hunch that it is not probable. The game that I can see been bundled is Hot Shot Golf 5, or driving game, since more people enjoy it. GOW3 probably would have lots of gore, skimpy clothed women, swear word etc (like GoW1 & 2), and I don't see this kind game being bundled with PS3 H/W.
