I fuess you don't realize how hard it is to sell half a million games.
If not even the whole NFS series COMBINED can sell more
than N2, exactly how can one game do it?  I mean, NFS
is in discount bins everywhere (except for III)  and it's still not
gonna sell that much.  And Nascar Revolution isn't destined
for a Deer Hunter-like phenomenon.  So there's like 0.1%
chance it will sell more than N2.
