Motorstorm was a bundled and launch game. Wasnt it obvious? I guess not to you guys.

 

 It wasn't bundled at the begining of its life and the bundles should have caused people to play it and build a fanbase from it.

 

 Well it was for the European launch. And anyway the bigger reason was because it was a launch game - there were hardly any other exclusive games to buy for the PS3. It was supposed to showcase PS3's graphics - thats how it was advertised.

The keyword in your reasoning there is 'should have'.

So, with this, combined with the lackluster sales of LBP, does that mean that the PS3 can't sell software? :P

 

 Lackluster? 400k is weak now... damn news to me

After seeing this, I really think Resistance 2 is going to have a low debut in the US... I'm sure it's going to sell pretty well on the long run though

You sound very bitter. How much you wanna bet LBP outsells Braid by a few million copies?

Ever the anti-PS3 troll. Beside factors that work against motorstorm (bad demo, many releases on the same week), LBP actually had a 60k increase from its launch. And the PS3 did 1,1mln software on this week, pretty good for its small NA userbase.

 If you don't understand why I said should have while responding to your post then I feel sorry for you.

 LBP will outsell Braid by about 1-2m copies very easily. LBP is a great game.

I give good games their due and give non-overhyped predictions unlike what is given alot here.

And isnt it a bit desperate to compare what Sony considers their titan this holiday to an XBLA game?

If you cant think past yourself and understand why these numbers for a sequel should have but didnt build a fanbase then Im sorry for you.

The SW data is up!.

Motorstorm PAcific Rift BOMBED in NA....I mean worldwide Motorstorm 1 sold 10K this week & Motorstorm Pacific Rift just made 31K

its a TERRIBLE debut for a 3 Million + selling game.

or Maybe LBP helped put an end to any decent sales it could get.

Anyways I made a prediction about how Motorstors PR would OUTSELL Resistance 2.....I call it off now!

 

A popular game release (LBP) for the same console is more likely to increase sales of Motorstorm due to the hardware increase.

I remember when the game was announced some people were concerned about the game's name. It looks more like an expansion pack than a sequel.

Maybe they should have named it Motorstorm 2?
