@Just_Ben, I believe MGS has shown much much much more legs than any PS games.. it is still selling over 50k after 3 months and it has not even got a single christmas to it also.. whereas MGS 2 and MGS 3 were launched right before christmas giving them some real extra booast..
Good games have shown lot of legs on PS3... like Motorstorm, uncharted, Resistance even games like Heavenly sword have sold well over a million on a debut of less than 100k... So i think ur statement is totally wrong... sure we don't expect bad ports to show good legs.. neither we expect medicore games to show good legs.. but if a game is truly next gen and is provided a good support it will sell a lot.
Lastly bundling a software is not a bad tactic and it also provide a little discount to the customer so i think its a win win situation..
Every person belong to some genre and there is no core audience, there is audience for RPG, there is audience for FPS, there is audience for Sports game and they will keep moving and die hards will not mind even having two consoles just to play some specific game of their genre... and the people who do not have any specific genre are surely going to keep one console and they do move based on other factors like price, look, ease of use etc..
