Motorstorm crashes into the 3 million mark

So you think Devil May Cry 4 is so hot, selling 2 million copies? Well, prepare to be blown away since Motorstorm recently crossed the 3 million units sold mark. What, you're not blown away? Neither are we. We won't lie -- it's a good game and 3 million are a lot of games. But you have to keep in mind this game's been out for a while and has been bundled in with the PS3 in nearly every region. So take it how you want it, but we're going to give a big thumbs up and congratulate Evolution Studios for making it that far.

DMC4 sold 2 million across PC, PS3, and 360? Motorstorm did it on just PS3, did it take a while sure, but you can't compare the two.

I love Motorstorm and I'm glad it is doing well.

Capcom says they SHIPPED 2 million copies but I'm not even sure they've sold 1 million yet. After releasing in all regions, I'm not sure it had broken the 700,000 mark yet.

Well the game is cool but to be honest my interest didn't last long, but it's good to know that a game for the PS3 is doing well, I hope the next iteration has more cool features, maps and a better online experience

Good game but got boring way too fast and the online experience wasn't good. Also the single player needs more options and modes, maybe a career mode or something. Still selling 3 millions isn't an easy feat, congrats Evolution Studios.

They passed 3.31 million in December and are now at approx 3.42 if you add approx US 80GB Jan bundled sales.

Come on, you're counting copies in the 80G bundle? Give me a break.

They're counting copies sold arsehole. It's the same reason wii sports is the highest selling wii game.

How about this has some online multiplayer support =P

Multiplayer is better offline IMO. Until the day video-chats are not only clear and distinct, but also comfortable and unawkward , live interaction will always the interaction of choice, when available.

And yes, I know unawkward is not a word.

Evolution better use all the money they're getting to make Motorstorm 2 way better than motorstorm 1 in every single way!!!

Wow how is this a big deal? The game is bundled at some point it would sell that many copies.A FREE game selling well,what a shocker.Microsoft sold 4.5 million copies of Gears Of War(in it's first year) still haven't seen such a game on ps3 yet.

This can easily be compared to Resistance because Resistance sold extremely well for a launch title.

Considering the PS3 has only 10 million or so units sold to the consumer I would say Motorstorm is mission accomplished.
