As much as I like Little Big Planet, it looks like it hasn't been off to a good start on pre-orders. Usually when an anticipated game gets put up for pre-order they get a big boost up front then die down and increase again before the game hits.

Little Big Planet comes out the same week as Fable 2. Little Big Planet's pre-orders already dropped off, but Fable 2 is still hanging around up top. Fable 2 has also been on pre-order longer.

Maybe people are just waiting to see what kind of pre-order bonuses their are before deciding where to order from. Hopefully that is the case.

I've asked all my friends who have PS3s if they are buying Little Big Planet, most of them don't know what it is. Then I tell them what it's about and I get no reaction.

I would have thought Little Big Planet would be beasting Too Human sales. Too Human has so much bad rep revolving around it and it's selling more? I know Too Human comes out tomorrow, but DAMN, even Fable 2 is outselling Too Human at this point.

 

id say its a little unfair to compare fable 2, a huge game with a track record selling to a userbase thats roughly twice as large and gobbles up games like a hungry hungry hippo, to a new IP from Sony that hasnt even bagan its marketing push a bit unfair.

That said, also saying too human being ahead of LBP (assuming your using amazon) as indication too human will sell more when LBP doesnt even come out for 2 months....just wow. Youre logic astounds me. LBP will sell 3x Too Human. mark my words.

The next flop is going to be left for dead, imo. I think there are far to many great complex, story driven shooters with far more substance coming out for. including resistance, gears 2.....i think it will get lost in the shuffle and have mediocre sales.....speaking strictly from a console analysis.

 

PS. Most of your friends dont know what LBP yet and neither does the majority of gamers out there...since there havent been any commercials or any marketing....but when i showed the video to my girlfriend with Battles playing in the background she was very interested....she hates games. I love games and am very interested......that right there is why LBP will be huge. Its as close to hitting all markets as possible form Sony. No way this game flops.

 

also the bolded areas contradict one another....if its so anticipated why do your friends not know about it?
