Forums - Sales Discussion - MOTORSTORM created quite a buzz at my BEST BUY

hi everybody, just went to Best Buy(Montrteal) to pick up my copy of MOTORSTORM ..............and tell you what there were around 6 /7 guys who were in line to pick up a copy of MOTORSTORM. The guy working around told me that his BB sold around 60 copies till yesterday. His BB had a shipment of 80 copies. around 20 ps3s were sold alongside an individual copy of MOTORSTORM. clealrly MOTORSTORM madness has started and it is a system seller no doubt.

Finally, a decent post from washimul. Its good to see that Motorstorm had a few people in line. However, that # of sales doesn't compare to what happened when I was at an EB games for Oblivion for 360 a year ago :-p



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

good stuff.



What do you mean line? My best buy is that you pick something you want and bring it to a cash register and leave. No lines.

Hahahaha yeah right. I'm sure it'll move a few systems, it's the first big post launch PS3 game, but it's not a "system seller".

Motorstorm is a Good Game for now... but it's really is not a system seller, I mean there really are no games out right now so Motorstorm selling well does not surprise me. I mean even though I saw the Gametrailers review and they gave the game a 7.9 if I remember correctly. And with a score like that I would never buy that game. And that's not a great score, but since there is nothing else out, I'll be picking up a copy tomorrow because by the time I got to the store the best buy guy said they sold out. He did say they really didn't have that much but they would get some more tonight that will be avaible for sale tomorrow so I'll be there as soon as they open. So I really believe the game is selling because people are starving for games right now, and it's all that's out. It's the only reason i'm buying it. Demo was ok, but looked more pretty then it was to actually play. All in all I don't think it will be that bad. So it's worth checking out at the very least. Can't wait for tomorrow, maybe i'll come back and give you my full review.

Yes it got a 7.9 but thats only because of the lack of content. They were dissapointed in no multiplayer, not a lot of tracks, and not a lot of viechles. If there was more of that the game would have easily got a 9.0 out of 10. Just remember this, there will be more tracks on downloadable content.

motorstorm got 8.9 on IGN and 9.0 on PSINEXT,gamepr0/gamesradar/UGO/CCC/ gamespy. PLAY MAGAZINE gave it 10/10.....eurogamer would give it 10/10 no doubt. 1up/gamespot and gametrailers (known to be MS biased) are the only sites that gave MOTORSTORM a 7.5+. but we ignore those reviews since MOTORSTORM redefines gaming

if a 5 hour game like GEARS with 0 physics and AI can sell systems.......why wouldnt MOTORSTORM do it for ps3. RESISTANCE has done wonders for ps3 even in JAPAN ( not necessarily a ground for FPS)

Coming from a Sony fan I have to admitt Gears of War looks sweet, and to be fair Resistence did sell a lot for a FPS but Gears of War didnt because of how many people bought a 360.
