Formula One reaches 8,000 sold copies on day... one
Wow, Japan is surprisingly in the mood for racing games. When MotorStorm went up to the top of the sales charts, we should have known that Formula One, released on December 28th, would gobble up its fair share of yen. It did just that, selling around 8,000 copies on its first day -- it's probably crossed the 10,000 mark by now.
Our question then becomes: will this translate to positive reviews and decent sales stateside and... Europe-side? Both are already fairly fervent racing fans, but there's been a lot of ho-hum press about the stale Japanese build of MotorStorm and I'm personally not aware of Formula One being a top-seller in recent history in the US. Perhaps it has, but it's not coming to mind. What do you guys think? Is the PS3 becoming the racing console?
