Motorstorm wasn't bundled until July of 2007, and by then it had ~800k in sales. And the game wasn't bundled in Europe, and it would have been a million seller in Europe alone. So I would go to say that you don't have to have a bajillion tracks to be a million seller.

Like I already said, the 300k figure was from America.  The vast majority of the game's sales in America came after it was bundled.

Also, I expect GT5 Prologue to be a million seller.  I was not commenting on the game's ability to sell; I was commenting on the limitation of the number of tracks.  I don't know why people feel the need to defend the game against attacks I'm not making.

while i'm a GT fan, i've never bought with any of the prologue or teaser games. I have the GT5 Prologue demo that was available on the japanese PSN for awhile and it's one hell of a game. However, I personally don't think it's worth it to drop $40 then drop another $60 for the full game. for someone into simulation racing games and perhaps likewise into real cars (which is an incredibly expensive hobby), $40 might be worth it to them.

IMO, if some contrived mini-game compilation (ala Carnival Games) is worth $40, something like gran turismo 5 prologue certainly is as well.

I agree, and I fully intend on buying the full version of GT5.  I also doubt that Carnival Games is worth $40, so I'm consistent on that.  :)

Doesn't matter, the point was that you argrued nobody would want a game that only had that many tracks if it didn't have the Gran Turismo name.

Motorstorm has sold over a million in "Others" where it wasn't bundled and around 500k in North America unbundled.

This is all with the game being more money and an unproven franchise.

In fact, I didn't argue that.  Read my post again, and please stop putting words into my mouth.  I said that people would be posting here saying "psh, 6 tracks, not worth it".  That does not necessarily translate into a game that would sell poorly or that "nobody would want."  Take any of the minigame collections that have sold a million copies on the Wii for example.  Lots of folks here agree that a bunch of minigames is not worth buying, and they have posted such.  Yet, these games sold a million copies anyway.

damn i wasting to much money on games. i wasted almost 300 bucks on my 360 when i sold it, and for my psp.

Again, you think people were buying Motorstorm and thinking "not worth it."

Fact is, Motorostorm is the only real example we have, and it passed.

Again, putting words in my mouth.  You seem to be more interested in "proving me wrong" by arguing against things I did not say than having an honest discussion.

""psh, 6 tracks, not worth it"."

I didn't put any words into your mouth. But good job avoiding the point by retreating on this same point.

 going back to when you said psh 6 tracks isnt worth it. that actually does translate into people not buying it. if something isnt worth it, most likely people will not buy it.
