People are calling SO a bomb without counting the bundle sales, with only 1 week to sell. It did rather well actually, going by VGC numbers is most likely undertracked (it was 10th here with bundle sales, 9th on npd without bundles)

driveclub is a no show with 4 weeks worth.

 

As a PS4 ownerm I'm just going to say...

SO is not a bomb, any IP which can launch basically being Jet Set Radio meets a TPS is a success for selling more than 50 units! I think it looks awesome and can't wait to get it when I can eventually get an XB1 for it.

Driveclub being a no show? It's pretty much proven at this point that Americans prefer the gun to the car. A simple trip to a US arcade confirms this :p I couldn't get over how few racing games there were at places like Dave and Busters when the likes of Initial D, Outrun 2 SP and Sega Rally 2 and 3 were staples of UK arcades. Having seen how popular automatic transmission is in the US however, it becomes clear that driving is a chore rather than a passion mind. While in Europe, Guns are a felony rather than a hobby :p

I love playing outrun (arcade version of course!!), already "wasted" loads of money playing it.
