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.

Apparently 30% of VGChartz readers thought that LBP would be the biggest seller. Are you saying that 30% of VGChartz readers need their head checked?
