As per the responding in the thread, they have it right on. Those 3 games
are the current hot sellers. In fact, I think all 3 are considered to be
system movers (I know TT and Madden are). Secondly, Sony does bias their
ratios to people who sell more goodies alongside. Amazon is trying to
leverage this, because they can get more sales if people are getting their
units more reliably, which will result in more units sent to them, which
will result...

Whether it works or not remains to be seen. ;)

I think the only issue with this package is that most people are interested
in the PS2 for the fighting games, OR the sports games, OR the racing games,
but not too often all three for the same people.
