So would you prefer a comparison between two new IP’s such as LBP and Gears1?
To include all sales up to week 3 is 673K for little LBP against 1.5Million for Gears1!
2-3 week comparison is fair I think as it takes into account LBP week 0! sales and that Gears1 also had a few days between its release in US and EU about 3 weeks before release in Australia and no sales from Japan!
Then if you consider that the user base when Gears1 released was around 5 million XBox360’s compared to around 16.5 million PS3’s when LBP released, by your logic is LBP a complete disaster!? Even for a new IP!
LBP was not a disaster it was simply hyped far too much and had very little chance of fulfilling the ridiculous sales expectations posted by fanboys in the build up to its release.
