We have confirmed numbers from charttrack for LBP....as 309K

so LBP sold 309K in UK ALONE....then ONLY 1 Million everywhere else WW??

that seems just so not right numbers wise.

enlighten me people

the plot thickens

 

In my opion, either everyone overtracked the game (unlikely), Kaz used old numbers, or he did in fact say played, and various people interpreted that in various ways.

Everyone?

The numbers don't seem so off so far outside of VGchartz.  NPD's numbers haven't come up yet afterall... and their first numbers had us overtracking a bit i believe.

 

 

Keep in mind ioi doesn't really adjust for NPD anymore, NPD showed vgchartz overtracking Wii Madden and undertracking Madden PS2, PS3 and 360. It also showed Soul Calibur IV slight overtracked on both PS3 and 360 and no adjustments were ever made.

Well according to the NPD it sold 205,000 in October and 141,000 in November in the U.S. According to VGChartz, it sold over 600,000 in the U.S. during those two months. That's over double what the official NPD numbers said. That would account for 300,000 units of the 600,000 VGChartz has inflated the sales. Then they simply added a couple thousand here and there over time and now people can pretend it broke 2 million when it's barely broken 1.

LBP seems to have sold 1.3 to retailers...it really isn't bad..that is great



I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

For the highest rated exclusive game on the console and a game that was hyped to be Sony's defining new franchise, 1.3 million is not great, it is a flop. If some game that came out of nowhere like Dead Space sold 1.3 million on the PS3, THAT would be great. LBP didn't come out of no where. It's the PS3's all-star.

Welp

That clears that up I guess



Thank you very much FilaBrasileiro.

So I think these are old numbers.
