Not really. That's the reason I stopped posting them.

Konami must be very desperate with Castlevania since they include MGS4 in the bundle.

When 2 games are bundled together they are usually tracked as different SKU.

That's an example

Capcom Vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 / SFIII 3rd Strike [Value Pack]

Yeah, but counter point to this is Ace combat and Katamari damacy x-box 360 value pack, they were counted as separate games.

They aren't really bundled together, they are two separate games bundled to the system is the difference?

Famitsu tracked them seperatelly, Media Create didn't track them at all.
What I see more possible is that they will be tracked combined. Famitsu has messed up many times with 360 bundles.

How much is that inflation adjusted?

¥6,800 in 1999 is ¥6,630 in 2009 using CPI. Japan has been struggling with deflation. Here's the CPI chart from 1990. Pretty brutal.

[Psychotext]

Numbers in 1,5 hour. Move report from Media Create and Dengeki after 2 days if we are lucky.

Typo, and thanks.

[Chris1964]

Typo, and thanks.

It was my typo.

November 11.

Vanquish must have ~ 1/3 of Bayonetta opening.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Vanquish for 360 did not even chart in top 10 .
I really want to see the numbers now.

 

[Psychotext]

It was my typo.

Damn your edit then. I thought I'd missed the A key. :lol

Mario on top of course, but didn't think Naruto would top Vanquish.

Also is this the first time PS3 has had 5 games in the top 10?

 

[Road]

Also is this the first time PS3 has had 5 games in the top 10?

It seems so, for Famitsu at least:

"2010-10-04","4"
"2008-01-28","3"

Many others with 3.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

No More Heroes 2? :lol

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

No More Heroes 2? :lol

And Family Trainer 3, Vanquish 360, Naruto 2 360, Time Crisis Razing Storm, RE5 Gold Move Pack, Sports Champions, EyePet...

Move-wise, I'd guess Beat Sketch is there because its bundled in the cheapest pack (5980Y) while RE5 Gold one is 7980Y and Big 3 Gun Shooting is 11980Y. Although I'd say I'm surprised myself since there is a basic move without any forced bundled game...

 

[Tenbatsu]

Wow at Kirby!

B3S and SC (non-bundled) seem to be doing quite well locally, (SC is sold out in a couple of places, no less) so I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the top 20.

No bump at all for Wii despite Mario Collection. That is more unexpected.

I think what we're seeing with Pokemon is just a consequence of the greater initial availability.
