Blur was supposed to be the "Call of Duty of racing games".  It ended up selling a whopping 31k it's first NPD, the game is probably one of the biggest bombs this entire generation... which is why Bizarre is going to be chained up in Activision's basement pumping out 007 games for the foreseeable future...

Seriously. That's hype talk. If you can't see that and you seriously think anyone alive thought it would sell 20 Million units... I'm sorry, but you're insane.

And I DONT CARE if it sold sold 31k in it's first NPD. As of right now we have it as 440k Worldwide.

Anyway, I'm going for a bit. I'm effing starving -_-

I think you forgot to mention that Blur wasn't a good game to begin with, like you did last time. What's the Metascore of Blur again, only 82?

Excellent point.

@ Whoever it was who said something about whoring. Shut up. It released in May. We have no idea if they intend on whoring it yet.

@ jarrod. How is it likely overtracked? And do you have any proof at all that the game cost a lot to make? I can understand the ad campaign, but dev costs for the game itself... No.

@Mr.Metrelha It's at 500k... Since release in May. It's obviously not going to stop at 500k. You can't say it's a flop after it's a pretty small game that's sold 500k in 4/5 Months. And you must know, it's not just the big games that sell during the Holiday season.

I might add, the fierce competition on HD consoles limits what a game can sell. Fuck, do people expect most HD owners to buy even a 6th of 3rd party core games that come out, I'd be broke

That's not the case on the Wii, yet most of the core games still bomb. Let them cherrypick carl, it's all they have
