A lot of people own the first one now and it's basically the only new racing game in the holiday season. I think it may surprise people when it becomes one of the PS3's higher selling games this holiday season.

Leave the real stand alone racing sales for GT. The bundled game sales was a joke.

 

The game sold 1.61 million in Others alone, and it wasn't bundled there. GT5 won't release till late 2009, early 2010, I doubt people will be willing will avoid racing games till that point.

 

Sorry but being a belgian retailer, i can tell you that Motorstorm was in a lot of bundles in Europe, in fact, Europe is Queen of bundles, they sell better than everywhere else and between summer 2007 and early 2008, Motostorm was in a lot of them.

 



Zones : I still don't understand all the love for Blizzard, what was the last game they developed worth playing?

I think it will sell more than the first one but not by much.

LOL you're funny. You mean to tell me that it will sell more than the first without being bundled? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

 It sold 1.61 million in Europe without being bundled, and alot of people didnt buy motorstorm because it didnt have split-screen.  With double the userbase it can happen, and its getting released before the Holidays.

Trust me...Sony fans will gladly step over Motorstorm to get their hands on the hotter games of the season.

I repeat, it is the only high profile racing game releasing on the PS3 this holiday season. Don't be surpised when it beats out Resistance 2.

Those are mostly retail bundles in certain locations, Sony only had a few official ones like the pick 2 games of a certain selection.

Socom:Confrontation and Bioshock and Call of Duty 5 are all competing against Resistance 2 for shooter game sales on the PS3 this holiday season. Motor Storm 2 is on it own to sell to the racer game entusiasts this holiday season. Europeans will buy lots of copies of MS 2 and it will be bundled just like MS has been bundled in Europe.
