Sounds fun, when's it coming out on PC?

[rip|ChITty]

I wish it was, but the unfortunately reality is that they're going to sell millions of copies of this game, probably more than all other PC racing releases for the last 2-3 years combined.

i would have to agree with chitty. They will probably sell a few more ps3's also. Maybe if my end of the year bonus is good enough I grab it and a ps3.....

O M G

Something has to be seriously jacked around.  I get that there's a ton of stuff coming out at the end of March, but this has too be right near the top of the pile.

Maybe Sony asked them to push it back to not interfere with God of War 3 which was supposed to release at the same time being that both series are PS3 exclusives.

yes this sux...even though the march release was for japan only, now they dont know when it will be released.

does anyone else think 60mil is a lot to spend on an exclusive?

I wonder if that 60m included Prologue.  If that "demo" sold 3.5m at $30 (~$100m total revenue), they should easily be able to get 3.5m sales at $50 for the real deal (~$200m total revenue).  But the real game is going to sell more than prologue... so yeah $60m to make $300m-$400m ain't too shabby.
