It's a long shot for LBP to outsell Gears 2. The install bases for each system are the reason. Gears 2 is right up the alley of 360 owners. And at 21 million now, and based on Gears 1, you know it's going to top 5 million units. Then you've got LBP which is selling to a base of under 16 million right now, and it's not right up the alley of the common PS3 owner.

That's not to say I won't be pleasantly surprised if LBP is able to push over 5 million and possibly Gears 2 in it's LTD totals. LBP is the first PS3 game I genuinely want to do amazingly.

 

yeahh it's not gonna be easy as I said I don't know what are the chances to LBP but I don't see it impossible. BTW, is that u on the pic, and iis that Adrian Grenier?

 

Never heard of Entourage eh?

LBP should be measured against Banjo since they are in the same genre. Sales wise it will be GeoW2 > R2 > Fable2> LBP>Banjo.

 

1. banjo is being released more than two weeks later than LBP. fable 2 is being released on the same day as LBP.

2. i think fable 2 is more like lbp because they both work on a freedom concept.

 

Fable 2's freedom:  Free the slave lead them back to their captor only to slay him in front of them... my question... how do they react.  I can't wait to find out.

LBP's Freedom:  Create awsome(or shitty) 2D side scrollers.

While they both have "freedom" one is freedom of choice the other is freedom of creation... not really the same... LBP and Banjo have more in common because both have the freedom thing, but both have creation tools... in Banjo you can theoreticly create the Death Star.

 

i have played many rpgs in my life and i dont see why fable is even considered an rpg, is a bad zelda, there was no real freedom of choice, i did bad things and people tried to kill me and i grew horns, i was good and people love me and i had a ring on above my head, that was it. I couldnt do anything to change the main plot, couldnt kill the king of thieft or whatever his name was.  And the plot? omg, i demand that some one tell me what was the porpuse of the main character, dont tell you where supose to make you own destiny cus is not true, you where bad or good, that was it and it had no in fluence un the main story.

Can someone rank fable relative to other rpgs and tell me it falls in the top 10?

about LBP, there is no way to know what the casual gamer will say about it, you think they may not like, but, i would have never guessed that wiifit would succed, from a gamer point of view nintendo doing crazy things but the turn out to be genius.

 

Anyway, am that not into FPS and i think they are all overrated.

You sound like you need a dose of Daggerfall...

the truth iin sales LBP > GeoW2 > Resistance 2 > Fable 2

 

I think you might be in for a rude awakening when GoeW2 launches.

 

yeah we'll see, I don't really know what's gonna be the impact of LBP.

I can say that GeoW2, is sure reaching like 6 mil lifetime may be, about LBP I don't know I'll get a hint the first weeks when It comes out.            and Resistance 2 > Fable 2 hands down

 

Theoreticly if Gears does percentage wise what it did with the first one it'll top 8 million before the end of the year.  I don't think it'll happen, but 4 will be an easy number maybe even 6.  I doubt that LBP will ever catch up to that.



Um, I hate to say this, but I haven't seen a single advert for LBP. If it weren't for VGChartz I wouldn't have known about its existence. I had to explain to a PS3 owning friend of mine what the game was about. Maybe it's just Australia

- LBP will outsold Fable2 LTD

- Gears will do the same with R2



Time to Work !

One thing overlooked... Fallout 3

I think the game of the year is going to be Fallout 3. That releases 1 week after Fable 2. It will steal sales from the RPG fans.




Standalone Gears 2 will beat Resistance 2 and Fable 2 will beat LBP.

Either of those situations could look reversed because of Sony's huge levels of bundling that has been applied to EVERY SINGLE high selling title on the console except Assassin's Creed and CoD4.

You don't have to say it... you can just put "starcraft's opinion here"

We know you are going to say the 360 exclusives are better then the PS3 exclusives... 

Duh
