I can't believe this! Sega Rally Revo is the only new game in the last 6-12 months I've thoroughly enjoyed. Why is it all these idiots go out and buy mediocre FPS and RPG games and don't check out the games that deserve appreciation?

Probably the competition in that space. Forza 2, PGR4, etc. Racing games can only handle so many titles at one time.

I'm sure Wilday 'blew a gasket' over this.

Hohoho.
