Sony will not let LBP, a first game which is now almost guaranteed AAA metacritic and gamerankings rating, a game that is exlcusive to PS3, flop.

Flop is relative ...

Ratchet and Clank Future is also a game that was published by Sony, received solid review scores, is exclusive to the PS3, received tons of marketing, was retailer's favourite game to bundle holiday 2007, and only sold 1.4 Million copies ... 1.4 Million can be considered a success by Sony but compared to the hype of the game it could be considered a failure as well.

 

 

 anybody who says a game has sold almost 1.5 mil is a failure is very delusional

So, had Metal Gear Solid 4 or Grand Theft Auto 4 sold 1.5 Million units and (as a result) bankrupted their developers/publishers because of the high development costs they would be considered a success?

There were countless posts of how Ratchet and Clank future would become the best selling Ratchet and Clank game and sell (more than) 3 Million units ... selling (less than) half that much can be considered a failure in relation to those expectations.

 

Are you telling me that Ratchet and Clank's sales bankrupted Insomniac.  That seems to be the criteria for failure in your first part of the post, and then in the second you base it off posts on a forum.  People overestimate the sales of games, doesn't make those games failures.

 

Maybe you should READ my post DNO was responding to ...
