Well a NASCAR game (NASCAR 14) was released in the UK for the 1st time in a few years so hopefully you guys will be lucky with Moto GP 14.

This game will be the same situation from the same company as MXGP was last month.

We will have to import the game for PS4.

My hope is that we will see copies on Amazon within a few days after release.

I don't believe it's going to be out on xbox 1.

MXGP was not released for next gen. As a next gen game I think the developers will try to push Moto GP 14 to as many markets as possible considering the smaller number of sales potential for the PS4.

That is true MXGP was on PS3. Makes no sense that it's not being released in the US on PS4....We even have a MotoGP race in the states.

Either way if they dont want to put it out over here I will import and play a week after release.

For PS4, GameFAQs shows a "June 2014" North American target date.

The European release, coming from a different publisher, is listed as "TBA."

They're not an official source by any means, but GameFAQs are usually pretty good with keeping release schedules up to date.
