750k on shelf isn't that big of a gap for Motorstorm. Remember that retailer don't have crystal ball to know which game are going to flop and which game is going to sell well, they have to decide which game they buy, and how much, based on what they think will sell. I wouldn't be surprised that a lot of retailer overestimated the demand for Motorstorm considering the sale of the original, so they find themselve with a lot of unsold one on there hand.
That why the difference between shipped and sold can be quite big in the first few weeks of sale ,especially during the christmas period and for a game which didn't sell as well as it's predecessor.
Oh and people need to get there head around the fact that PR statement are just that, PR.
Persons without argument hide behind their opinion
