I saw some where on the internet the sale of Pacific Rift first week was less than 50,000. If thats true this could be the end of motorstorm.

Anyways, i got it s few days ago and its non stop fun and the graphics are just plain damn HOT !!!!

See you all on the track !!

not being funny, releasing a game like motorstorm at the same time as gears 2, resistance 2, fallout 3, far cry 2 and LittleBigPlanet.... what did they expect. there are so many good games out at the moment, and whilst motorstorm is a fantastic offroad racer.... it just cant compete.

over time it will do well tho

I'm wondering which game is going to sell more between LBP and Resistance 2 this holiday.

The only way the first Motorstorm reached those sales numbers was because it was bundled with the PS3. Maybe Sony will do that with Motorstorm 2.

I think the first one sold that good because there weren't a lot of titles in the early life of the ps3, and most those sales are from bundles if I'm not mistaken.

Europe just got Motorstorm 2 two days ago. So that may perhaps somewhat influence on the numbers, but not drastically, due to the fact that the original Motorstorm was bundled with the PS3 and was one of the first games for the system, so people "had" to buy it since there wasn't any other content for the console.

Releasing Motorstorm 2 near other high profile games it's suicide. But since the games is good and it's fanbase is good, I think it will pick up in x-mas and trough out 2009.

plenty of games have sold fairly poorly in the first month but the sales remained steady and they ended up selling over a million like resistance and heavenly sword. in the long run i'm sure the game will sell alot just nohere close to the original

As the only used PS3 game I've bought so far, I bought the original from a friend at work for 20$ awhile back, and I never could get into it. I'm glad it was so cheap, because it' been collecting dust. I'll download the demo for Pacific Rift andsee if it's worth a buy.

I'll be picking this game up soon (probably after Left 4 Dead) since I really like the first Motorstorm. The release date for this was just horrible with so many other good games coming out.

I am getting the game eventually, perhaps for the holiday season. I do want it but there are so many great games that have my attention such as NBA 2k9, Resistance 2, Midnight Club, LBP, QoS, Fallout 3, etc. I am overwhelmed, so Motorstorm 2 will have to wait.

There's a lot of games that are not going to sell well this year, but maybe christmas will help a bit. One the economy doesn't help either and there's just so many games. I only bought games that I would for sure enjoy based on reviews, my thoughts, and the genres I enjoy.

Theres too many other great games. I thought about buying it but I weighed it against LBP and it lost. Then I weighed it against RB2 and it lost again, then I weighed it against Valkyria Chronicles and it lost again, and finally weighed it against Mirror's edge it it still lost.

The game only sold 3million + because for about 5 months it was bundled with every console. and its £19.99 every where

I wasnt impressed with it, infact it was the reason i didnt get a ps3 till mgs4.

Now the games are rolling out :P

Well considering that I've seen no advertisements for this game at all, and the fact that I would not even know it wasn't released if I had not been keeping up to date with the game must mean that there was not enough public interest generated by this game. Sony has to advertise much more.

after playing Pure and Burnout, the demo felt really sluggish and unresponsive.

the sales for first game mustve taken into account the bundles right? otherwise selling 3M is a shocker

I plan on picking it up, but R2 and LBP both took priority over Motorstorm. I agree that it wasn't a very good idea to release it in the middle of the biggest release window this year.

They should've made that demo available to EVERYBODY initially, but noooo they didn't wanna do that. They wanted people with Quore to get exclusive 1 month advance try. I lost interest pretty much after not playing the demo so took it off my "to get" games list. I didn't buy it, and I most certainly wont! Actually I'm kinda happy sales did bad, maybe they'll give us all the demo asap next time.

I personally see commercials for the game all the time and IMO it is awesome.

Like others have said just too many games to choose from right now. I'm personally getting it because I loved the first, but it will be sometime probably after Christmas.

oh look its bumblebee mario ... You do realize they did still launch a demo of the game before the game came out to the general public, they just gave an earlier build of the demo to qore people a month earlier.

Of course he knows, he said it in his post. However, I don't think getting a demo out 2 months in advance helps as opposed to one month in advance. Actually, if its two weeks before the game actually comes out I think thats a better idea. When I play a demo and I have to wait 3 or 2 months for the game to come out I usually forget about it. Naruto demo was actually good and I played it a lot I probably would have gotten it on the spur of the hype but its died off now and other games have caught my eye like Mirror's Edge and Valkyria Chronicles,

THIS. It is unfortunate, though, since both games are stellar... even if they do feature the most brutal/cheap AI on the higher levels ever seen in a game.

Dont worry.... Sony doesnt do simultanesly release everywhere.

 

And i didnt bought my yet... and i am buyng... so +1 next week.

 

And.... Sony doesnt do any advertising.  Takes time for word of mouth spread game is good.

 

And EUA has so many 360 fanboys is crazy...
