Then discuss sales, rather than pointing that out to me.

I'm lurking. And I want people to be encouraged to talk sales, so I pointed it out.

I just made two posts about sales and you pointed out the one line that I made bringing MBP up on his slight obsession about the pre-orders of this game.  And then made no sales discussion yourself.  

Lead by example!

What kind of flop? We talking a Starhawk type flop or a Twisted Metal type flop?


Didn't both games flop horribly anyways?



Yay!!!

Lol, there have been many ps3 exclusives that lacked massive pre-orders.but continued to show legs, games like UC2, LBP, Killzone, Heavy Rain says hi

i think preorders/sales will increase because the "buy it on ps3 and get it on vita for free" will attract some people, advertisement will be successful for the game because maybe many still don't even know about it outside the internet gaming world and i also think that's a game which will sell over the long run whatever this will mean with next console in 2013 or 2014.


I actually don't know how that would attract people. If you buy it on your PS3, why would you want the same game on your vita? Plus most people don't have a vita so

It's going to flop. Just like LBP Karting.
Sony PR has spent years telling their fanbase how an Hardcore game should be: cinematic, realistic-looking, adult or epic and badass, heavy on storytelling.
At the same time they went on calling the competition childish or casual.
Now it will be hard for them to convince fans to buy a game without any of the mentioned qualities, that blatantly copies competiton.
Not to mention Smash Bros is just too good, those who have played it enough and love it, have probably just bought a Wii already to play it (since it's not very expansive). Those who don't know it or don't like it have no reason to be attracted to the game.


Pretty sure this is not a "lets point out everything we hate about sony and how superior Nintendo is" thread.

Also,  the succes of LBP would like to say hi (I'm not even mentioning eyepet, start the party etc, because of their bad sales). The ps3 might have been advertised for the more mature audience, but they've supported plenty of casual/kiddy games.

Btw, guys, LTD means life to date, and since it hasn't come out yet, it makes no sense to use it.

And finally, OT: I think it will do great for Sony standards. I think it will pass 2m LT, though I'm hoping for more.
