I'm sad that Starhawk isn't selling more. It's inventive, the multiplayer is massive amounts of fun, the game feels polished and LBI is giving a lot of attention to balance. It's the kind of game that deserves to house a massive community, especially compared to the care Infinity Ward give to Call of Duty (for example).
But such is life. Sony didn't have the budget/didn't feel the need to hype the game up that much. It's following on from Warhawk which was a great but niche game - it's housed a dedicated small community all its life. I suspect they were thinking Starhawk will be along the same lines, which it probably will be. In addition, it's probably not the easiest game to drop into and pick up quickly like you can with Call of Duty. I've been playing Starhawk for 5 days now and there's still things I don't understand about the multiplayer :P
Twisted Metal got better sales than it deserved though. It is an incredible game, which had an awful online portion for far too long before it was fixed. I think David Jaffe is amazing, but why he didn't have a beta for the game I'll never know.
