Chart-Track: MGS4 had "minimal" impact on UK PS3...

Despite going straight in at number one in the software charts and being the biggest PlayStation 3-exclusive release so far, Metal Gear Solid 4 has failed to prove a major driver of hardware in the UK, with Chart-Track revealing a "minimal" spike of seven percent over its opening weekend.

Is there an MGS bundle in UK ? If yes, did Chart-Track counted them in their "only 7% increase", or are they just counting normal (non-bundled) PS3 ?
If there is a bundle, and that bundle are not included in the calculation, I am not surprised with it (7% increase).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

I am also surprised with this news. I was expecting at least 25% - 50% spike in H/W, not "just 7%".[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

A bit surprising, but then again not totally either. I really do not see much of anything that could help give it any other HW bump for the rest of the year either. This was the big gun of 08. Probably after first week or two in Japan and the US it's going to be back to the norm as well[ Speaker ] [ Level 7 ] [ Rank: 1446 ]bids

There was supposed to be an EU bundle IIRC. If there was a bundle out last week then ChartTrack most certainly counted them as they have always counted bundles.
