IP sales for the gen suggest that, but GOW ascension will put the IP over the top.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

And could I suggest you add some nice numbers to this argument to show your point? =) we here LOVE numbers ;) Like, if GoW sold less and less for each new game and LBP sold more and more for each new game.... Right now I'm not too convinced ^^

Iif we wanna be realistic, the only reason LPB sold over 2 million is because of mass bundling, so my point in this thread that we should not judge a franshise by sales if it has a huge advantage like mass bundling.

I don't think we can exclude bundles though... Many times it's the bundled game that sell a console (like how Wii Sports sold Wii equally as much as Wii sold Wii Sports, or how Super Mario helped to sell the NES). Bundles help to push systems, so they can't be disregarded. I got my Wii because it had NSMBWii with it...

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

the fact every bundled game does amazing sales like 4-5 million, makes this confusing for me, cause any game not being bundled and doing 4-5 million would be a huge system seller IMO.

Yes, yes they would have done great as bundles! I guess that certain games push system sales without being bundled... dunno

i highly doubt forza 3 and LBP are system sellers yet the both sold 5 million.

So what they are all sony exclusive games that means we've got 4 franchises that reached the 5M milestone and Microsoft only has 3. Sony wins again. So your thread is a failure. Try harder next time

Little big planet 5.11 million LDT sales

GOW3 4.5 million

 

what do you guys think is little big planet now a bigger franshise then GOW.


Well deserved. I play LBP2 every week, great game.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Didn´t like the beta for the multiplayer, althought, if the main game is cool like GOW3, I will buy it.

i feel like this thread is a parody of the ongoing forza vs. GT arguments that appear in every other thread..
