All the Sony fans playing it wise now with hindsight; saying that nobody expected LBP to outsell GeoW2 and that it is wrong to compare a new IP with a more mature IP. That wasn't what they were all saying before. LBP was supposed to be huge (and no, people weren't saying that tongue in cheek at the time). I honestly thought it would have done a lot better myself (deservedly so) and do agree with Leo-'s post above that the stalled launch affected sales to some extent.

I cannot be bothered to trawl through all the old threads to highlight them. However, here is one of the recent threads, where Leo-J still said he expected LBP to do better in others than GeoW2.

LBP to outsell GeoW2? Whoever seriously thought that day one, that would happen needs their head checked. As a matter of fact, How is it wrong to compare a new IP to a million seller franchise? LBP is HUGE, and it did awesome for the first week sales, and it's an AWESOME game hands down, no one can ever say it's not without legit reasons. Just because LBP didn't meet fanboy's expectation's doesn't mean the game won't have legs, that's why its HUGE sir.

Just looking through some of your previous posts, you look like a Sony fanboy yourself.  When Squilliam mentioned that Fable2 pre-orders in NZ were beating LBP you were quite disparaging about Fable 2's chances of beating LBP.  
Face it: LBP only did borderline OK for first week sales considering the hype.  It is not HUGE, or 'MASSIVE!' as you said in one of your other posts.  It's a good game but sales aren't living up to the hype or expectations.

None of those games will be system sellers, rather then LBP that is.

Its going to be really hard to convince the masses to drop $450 just because sackboy is "cute" and the game looks "fun." I really dont think this will get the casuals buying it, only due to price. Im pretty sure one 360 bundle had Viva Pinata, and did not really do much to sales.

 

 The game isn't about sackboy being cute, Why wouldn't people a buy a game that's fun? That makes no sence at all, The game is about creativity, and this is the only game that gives you loads and loads of features, i don't see why it won't appeal to casuals.
