9 days is not bad, plus its getting more press which is a good thing

 

While I agree that more press is a good thing, I think it's very hard to argue that this won't have a negative effect on week 1 sales.

While I also agree that more press is a good thing, I think it's very hard to argue that this will have a negative effect on week 1 sales.

 

No, it's very easy to argue. Broken street date, different release date on commercials, most people have recently played the beta, hype and marketing designed around this street date, huge losses for reprinting and repackaging, bad PR, ect.

If week 1 sales are just "ok"...will you blame it on the marketing, the delay, or the game?

I'd put my money on the delay or the marketing, because the game is fantastic.

Anyway, this is my opinion, but it's a fact that this having some sort of negative effect on LBP in general, is easy to argue.

I mean, you guys certainly don't think this is good news about the game, according to every LBP fan on the interent, and their grandmothers. It certainly has some of you worried, at the very least. Even if just to further the delaystation propoganda, this is good news for Microsoft.
