@apujanata, I know that, you were clear in your earlier post. Sorry for maybe coming off too strongly. What I meant is that I thought NPD did incorporate bundle sales into their top 10 calculation.
I really can't remember where to look for past bundle top 10. I'm just going by my memory, so I could be wrong.
@Joe80, I am NOT saying that NPD didn't track bundle, I know they did. What I didn't remember is past practices of NPD regarding bundle's sales, and whether they are incorporated into Top 10 calculation, hence my question.
Can you point me out to previous H/W bundle which affect NPD Top 10 # ? I do not live in US, and I never bought bundled H/W + S/W, so my memory is hazy in that area.
@apujanata, Seems strange that NPD might not calculate a bundle's sales, haven't they always?
I bet there will be a lot of bundles produced, these bundles are commonplace for Sony and I always see them in every store, this is the same type of bundle they've been doing for years and this time it is with their most important IP. I'd say it will easily be hundreds of thousands.
@PhilHarrision, Affect it down or up ? If NPD count H/W bundle as part of calculation for Top 10, then it is up. But IF NPD doesn't count H/W bundle as part of calculation for Top 10, the it is down.
In the United States/Canada it has been revealed that GT Mobile UMD will be bundled with a PSP 3000/Movie/10 Music Downloads from Musicpass and a 2GB Memory Stick for $199
The movie and music will be exclusive to the US though as neither service is available to Canadians.
