Forums - Sony Discussion - LBP deserves more sales than Gears 2 and Fable 2 combined

Smash_Brother on 17 November 2008

Title.

This game is phenomenal and should be played by everyone, regardless of console affiliation BS.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

You are right.....about the "should be played by everyone regardless of console affiliation" the game is a amazing. I dont agree with the thread title though (IMO). Both Gears 2 and Fable 2 are amazing as well, and are completely different types of games, deserving of completely different types of sales.

Well if Sackboy really is they're new mascot, expect this to be force bundled asap! And it's sales probably will exceed that :)

As far as I know, the game didn't cost much to develop at all :P So bundling it and keeping the same price (ala Nintendo Style), would be a godsend for the title :) Plus it shows off some community aspects that the platform could totally use ^^

They're not bad games (not Gears, anyway) but it fucking kills me to see hyped sequels getting piles of sales while something new, different and insanely fun doesn't make the same numbers.

That's the industry, though, I suppose.

No need to hate on other games man.  Have you even played them?

 

LBP does deserve to sell well but that doesn't mean it should at the cost of any other game.
