As we know, on release of LBP, the uestion was how well it would do and if it would have legs. I believe the numbers speak for themselves with LBP having hit 3million sales.

Modantion Racers as we know shares something with LBP- it is part of the Play, Create and Share genre. Not only is this game family friendly like a certain Nintendo game which most of us love, but it also allows users to create their own tracks and share them- meaning, potentially it will have an unlimited amount of tracks only mimited by the users imagination.

So my question is, do you think Modnation Racers will see a similar success to LBP and if so, what are your predictions?

i predict around 2.4M
the title has a lot of potential, but without being heavily bundled I can't see it doing the same as LBP

still, if very well advertised (and bundled) it can do up to 3.5M in the long run..

The game is awesome I've tried the beta. Tons of stuff to do.

Too bad the controls aren't half as good as Mario Kart, and that was a huge throw back for me. I hope they fix them or give us the option to customize the controls...

i'm not sure if expect is the right word but i wouldn't be surpised. 3M and take well over a year to do it, sure why not. mario kart wii proves without a doubt there is a large audience for this type of game, now it's just a matter of will anyone notice MNR other then us forum dwellers.

I will be the first to call for 5 million, 3 million first year with good legs.

This game got many people excited,

I would love for the game to become a sensation and sell 5 million but i think 3 million ~ is more of a realistic figure! We will have to wait and see anyway, first day buy for me though

I expect this one to end at 6.25 to 7 million. 3 million first year and a GOTY edition for two years following. It comes across as really funny from what i've seen in the beta. The only thing that might damage it is load times. It kinda takes away from the fun arcade like feel of it all.

around 3 million lifetime

just imagine if this game was on the wii

Better numbers actually.

People love racing games. They are very accessible and it's a fun game. Add to that being able to download hundreds of maps, being able to make your own maps (quickly!), and online multiplayer (without lag). Pretty f**** great. I'm going to say 5 million at least within 1 year.

Care to take any bets?
5M in one year. Seal it!

It should do just as good, maybe not as good a LBP. I'm not seeing the hype LBP had with MR though.
