ROFLMAO...yeah...LBP looks GREAT next to Gears 2 600+k in sales...Sorry, but I expected far more from Europe, with all the hype, than a mere 274k. Given the PS3 greater demand in much of PAL over 360, as we've seen in the past, this result hardly bodes well...less than 1 million in 3 weeks...I expect LTD at 2-2.5 million...good..no doubt, but hardly what we had been lead to believe was possible.

 

 So u compare a totally new ip with a game which has already proved its great and sells great, i dont think anyone expected LBP to outsell Gears 2.

 

 

ROFLMAO....quite the opposite...I thought it was an absolute JOKE for all those people putting LBP in thte same league as Gears 2 or Fable 2...and results are in.  Those two games CRUSHED the crap out of LBP, as anyone using logic would expect.  No spin, just facts and hard core numbers...Fable 2 and Gears 2 don't require bundles of free games to push up title's sales numbers like sony loves to do with it games.  Neither does Nintendo as well...only sony seems to use this strategy, and LBP's most likely YTD was matched by First Day sales of Gears 2...ROFLMAO...FIRST DAY DUDE...that's a drubbing like Obama delivered to McCain...that's an absolute beatdown in sales figures and revenue for the developer/publisher.  $$$ don't lie, and it was foolish to even discuss LBP when talking about Gears 2 sales.
