Do you really think that platformers (Banjo3) are doing better than arcadey racers though. I think that Banjo may suffer from the same kind of issues with it's genre as you are mentioning for Motorstorm. Of course this is partly because I'm having a rough time thinking of any platformers that have come out recently other than SMG and Ratchet.

No, which is why I compared MS2 to BK3. I think BK3 will be a good game and everyone should be hoping for it to be outstanding. Lord knows we need a few more good platformers on consoles.

My point is that neither one will light up the charts. Maybe if one of them is truly outstanding it could but I honestly don't see that happening for either game.

 Ahh....my apologies, I thought you were saying you think BK3 will undoubtedly do better.  You're right though, both of their genre's are having issues and probably neither will see the ginormous sales their prospective sides hope for.  But I still think they will both be good games worth playing, and sometimes that's enough....even for sales junkies like us.
