Flops Aplenty!

Banjo sold like a steaming pile of shit. Thankfully. Rare needs to learn it's lesson. After all of their flops this gen, maybe they will.

LBP is doing not that good either, but I do have faith that it will "pull an uncharted".

Motorstrom did good in Others for it's second week, having a very small drop. It'll do fine.

Your PS3 hate is sad. LBP didn't promise Copyrighted levels would be fine. Copyrighted anything isn't fine on any game that allows you to make levels and such. Why on earth would you believe you can take copyrighted material and make it your own? It's the reason it's copyrighted. It's also the reason you fail. CRY MOAR.

R2 isn't out in Others yet, so I'd take a minute before I say anything about that. And about LBP, don't 4get about Uncharted.

Unfortunately, 'pulling an Uncharted' means getting 2 million after over a year. I really thought LBP could get 2 million by the end of the year. I suppose that's not happening.

I hope MotorStorm flops, really. I suppose all of the developers are learning that second-rate crap isn't going to cut it any more. In the past, just having "EA" on a game guaranteed it >1 million sales. Rare was once one of the greatest developers in the world.

As for MotorStorm, the game was average at best, but look at the sales! Massive! Evolution seemed to think that what got them 3 million sales in early 07 will do the same in late 08.

I suppose 300k is decent for NA only, and Europe will be a lot more (1 million first week total?), but the top five NA chart for that week was downright embarassing.
