Sorry, but it looks like LBP is anything but huge.

Certainly not a bomb, but PS3 fanboys need to move onto the next saviour (unless LBP does something MONSTROUS in EU).

 

you see what you did.

Bet you've been waiting soooooooooo long to type that.

And yet you don't even have any decent proof of what you say, the game hasn't been released.

I really hope it sells another 200k or so next week. Dunno about legs though, perhaps SCE should bundle it with PS3?

Did you miss the whole recall fiasco?  Or are you being sarcastic?  :S

And streets dates are only broken regularly in Europe.  In NA, at best you'll find a lone Toys R Us or Wal-mart breaking a street date on accident.

Good for only being a very very limited release.



Smeags on 28 October 2008

Well, I just assumed that for every time someone said "LBP will be huge!", one copy would be sold.

So... according to my trusted and factual analysis work, this week's sales were around 11 million short of what I expected.

Or something like that...

It's impossible to say because it was already selling before its official release, and those sales we not tracked at all.

@starcraft

lets not even talk about system sellers/saviours

I think everyone is being pretty nice about Fable 2 not being a system seller so far...

othewise usually we would've had a trollish thread saying "ZOMG Fable II not a system seller" by now....so don't ruin the peace :)
