PFFFFTTT!

Your post was clear bashing. If I choose not to bother with following your hints then it's clear that I have a good reason to. Praise what ever system you want, I don't see why you need to bash the other.

I wonder what Sony were thinking when they thought it would become their 'biggest title this year', 'absolutely huge'.

 

And I wonder what they ARE thinking now, especially Media Molecule. The devs should have avoided going exclusive with lunatics who lost touch with reality losers. I'm sad that SCEE owns the whole IP and the world won't see it on not so "worthy" system. Well, at least this serves them right, hopefully others won't make such a mistake in future.

 

This post just reeks of pure SONY bashing..... And whenever I PM a mod nothing happens.... :S

You make it sound like Media Molecule lost money... With over 730K sold am pretty damn sure MM is raking in profit right now.

And WTF is a "worthy" system?? What system is "worthy" of this game to you???? The 200 green box with a Publisher that's bearly in trying to improve thier first party standing and instead just wedge thier way into the hearts of 3rd parties??? The one that IMO seems really desperate to keep a 2nd place lead after an over 1.5 year headstart over both it's competitors????

Or the console that can't even run the game straight from the get go because of the games 720p Native Resolution???

EDIT: Yes, I just attacked both other systems... If you can attack a system, so can I.

MM may be making a profit on the development costs, but LBP has been one of the most heavily advertised games this year, or even this generation. That shit is expensive and it wouldn't surprise me if overall it runs at a break even or even a loss, especially if they end up bundling worldwide it to help move consoles and increase it's total ownership and accordingly increase it's brand name by getting people to play it. When they include it in a bundle they don't always get any extra income from the game.

I know it's already being offered as a free game when you buy a PS3 in Europe/Others, plus the bundles in Japan, so when they are already losing money on the console and now have to include a free game, many of the sales already are for no income, so it certainly isn't going to be a cash cow.



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

Agreed. Are they really offering it for free in Europe? That's rather sad considering it just got released in the territory...

@Dgc1808

Yeah I am going to have to nail you on those bullshit remarks. Firstly I am going to go out on a limb here, and say you hate 360 exclusives, because your a Sony loyalist. Otherwise why hate games you have never played, and do not own a console on which to actually play them. You seem to spend a lot of time hating things that do not actually involve you. That is an unhealthy obsession you have going there.

Secondly 360 exclusives are actually a more varied selection then you will find on the PS3. Which is actually becoming the shooter box which you seem to despise. What room have you made in your preconceptions for Fable 2, Viva Pinata, Kameo, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Forza, Banjo Kazooie, Kingdom Under Fire, Naruto Rise of a Ninja, Infinite Undiscovery, Alaskan Storm, Beautiful Katamari, Cry on, Culdcept Saga, Lips, Ninja Gaiden 2, Project Gotham Racing, Scene it, Star Ocean, Spectral Forces, Warhammer, Your in the Movies, and many other games that do not come out of Aliens. I suggest you take a good hard look at the PS3 exclusives list. LittleBigPlanet did not just erase the fact that the PS3 is delinquent in offerings for a more sensitive segment of the public. Which you proclaim that you are.

Speaking as to sales of exclusives that are not Halo or Gears. Both Project Gotham Racing titles have sold over a million units. Forza 2 sold over four million. Fable 2 is marching towards two million. Viva Pinata sold over one and a half million. Kameo, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Ace Combat 6 have all sold over half a million units. So I think you will understand if I say your full of hot air, and baseless accusation. Many of those titles I listed were highly rated as well.

The moral of this story is don't apply stereotypes unless you have taken the time to actually examine what a consoles library is. I can tell you this the 360 is probably less heavy on futuristic shooters then the PS3. More to the point the 360 has a lot more soft titles then your probably give it credit for. You say LittleBigPlanet, and I say Katamari, Kameo, Pinata, and Banjo Kazooie. I really think your doing yourself a disservice if you prefer these games, because at least to me it looks like you picked the worst console of the litter.

Not everywhere I think, but certainly in some major regions
