Sony To Restructure Liverpool Studio (WipEout/Motorstorm), Halt Several Projects

The Motorstorm franchise sold millions, better than F1 and Wipeout, if we're going by that and we have to gut either Evolution or Liverpool, it will obviously be Liverpool. And no, Evolution can't simply push out more of the same.

Not getting the hate for ModNation Racers and who knows if there's even a market for kart racing games on the PS3.

Motorstorm 1 didn't "sell" millions. Those numbers are inflated due to being bundled everywhere. Consumers don't give a flying fuck about Motorstorm. Pacific Bomb failed to break 100k in its first month. Quite the fall from a game that allegedly sold 3 million units.

Well, Motorstorm also was the first game to be released after the launch drought so along with being bundled obnoxiously, many people picked it up because at the time there really wasn't anything else to buy and owners were hungry for new games.

I think it's good to just ignore sales of any game that was bundled all over the place because as we've seen, that just isn't a reliable number. You could even say that Kung Fu Panda sold 3 million units if you count all the bundles.
