The launch was/has been too screwed up to take first week sales literally. Some areas still haven't recieved the game so I expect strong sales into the holidays

Really... again with the "botched launch" ????

Enough with the messed up launch excuse, the game has launched already...

If you can't get the game at a local store, go online that's why online stores are there..

LBP not selling it's millions it was hyped to sell wasn't because of a 1 week launch error, it was because:

A) It didn't appeal to everyone, as many hoped

2) There are to many games to buy at this time

G) The games broken..   

 

side note: many user made levels are being deleted.

Apparently VGChartz doesn't track online, therefore we could be missing 100,000's of sales. I can gaurantee that if that last minute recall hadn't happened we would have seen 600,000+ week 1 sales. The launch went far from planned and the game is still in the process of being launched in some areas.

Now am I saying I expected it to sell millions? No, I expected it to reach a million within 2-3 weeks, which it might still do. But to say the messed up launch had no effect on sales is foolish.
