I actually had the page bookmarked from the time. Plenty of posters were predicting low sales for LBP in that particular thread so I figured it would be interesting to compare them to official sales of the game when it finally launched.

Your post in this thread served as a reminder that I had your's -and indeed others- sales predictions lying about somewhere, so I went browsing through my bookmarks and found it.

This is no joke thread.  >_>

 But of course people only focus on the perdictions from crazzymann and say the game failed to meet expectations (look at sig)

You answered your own question. 500k in 1 week(which is being generous with week 0 addition) is good.

It's not huge.

If 500k in 1 week + limited release is huge, what is 1 million in 1 week?

What is 2.5 million in 2 days?

500k in a week is good. Fallout 3 sold more than that on the 360 alone.

Fallout 3 sold very well.

I wouldn't classify it as huge.

Huge is a lot bigger than big.

LBP might be big. However, comparing it to many other games over just this last month that have dwarfed its sales, even calling it big is a generous classification.

Maybe I should question your classification system. Serious question. If LBP is huge, what is Gears 2? Classify it.

 Though this clasification system is a bit stupid I'll humor you. GeoW2 is obviously monsterious. And no one was denying that..

This poll was actually lifetime sales, not holiday sales.  (or 1st week, like many people think)  You will have to wait a while to see which answer was correct.

Even thought LBP "won" this poll, 70% of the people picked a title other than LBP.

I'm not wild about the idea of posting in a thread in an attempt to sway opinion by showing which group can outshout the other, so to speak, or to cheat myself up. I tend to post in a thread to either state my opinion of the op has asked for that, or to refute something I believe facts contradict.

I've often felt that many pro-ps3 poster come into threads that simply make assertions they don't care for, and pollute the thread by trying to overwhelm it with opposition opinions. Not cool.

 And I've often felt that many pro-360 users like to try and prove their point by generalize the pro-ps3 community by a select few optimistic individuals... (anyone see what I did there)

Hey, I know it was stupid. I was walking around for a week like a babe in the woods everytime I heard "LBP will be huge."

No one could explain wtf they were talking about.

Now it appears that we've adopted the "average" "big" "huge" "monsterious" classification system. It's stupid as hell.

I still think it's just "big" though, and calling GeoW2 "monsterious" is moving the goal posts after the fact to make the original huge assertion stick, lol.

This is the internet, you have to adapt or die, lol.
