Forums - Sales Discussion - Twesterm losses the bet! LBP breaks 1.5 million before 09

Grampy on 27 December 2008

A heart felt congratulations to LBP. I always figured it would be a success and hated to see it burdened with ridiculous expectations that neither it nor any other game could possibly sustain.

I hope its success will prompt others to step outside the box and offer more variety than the worn out ideas that just keep getting rewarmed and rewarmed untill even HD graphics can not  hide that they are only leftovers.

Noone forces people to buy LBP bundle - they can as well choose "300" movie bundle if they think game is horrible.

Still nice sales will it go to 2.5 M at end of 2009 ?

Depends on how long those bundles will be on the market. It can even reach 5 million by the end of 09 but so long the bundle will not last I guess.

LBP now has a chance of selling 2 million copies in 2009.
3 million copies ltd should be almost a given, maybe more if it is bundled with PS3 in the future.

Maybe I am a little paranoid.

Maybe not, but LBP sales are awesome. That's not debatable.

And I love my sig Bitmap.

Sorry twesterm the bundles made you lose

Don't hate.

Give up this crusade.  You were incorrect.  LBP is a major success, whether or not you'd wanna believe it.

where is hate in his post? he only stated a fact...

i guess you hate the hate?

Every game is bundled so no game can be successfull according to you ? I could choose practically any game to go with my ps3. Hence any game is bundled. You can also get a bunch of games bundled with the wii and the 360 so by your definition no game is a success by itself.

 

official bundle

Doesn't matter if it's official or not. I can go into almost any store and get almost any game. That's the point when official bundles doesn't mean anything at all anymore.

that is your point of view

No it's a fact. A point of view would be if i said that "in my opinion they should let this or that happen, or i think that this is the instance" a fact however, is when that thing occurs which it is in this instant. The fact is that you can get practically any game, and thers atleast 10 different "official" bundles so bundles doesn't mean anything. :\

Because i got ssbb for free with my wii (bundled) does that mean that the game itself has horrible legs ? Because it was bundled ! (atleast in blockbuster/gamerush)

 



Check out my game about moles ^
