Reasonable on 14 November 2008

Oh I didn't buy into the hype. I thought it would sell around what it has. I'm lamenting that it seems (maybe Wii fit aside and that's not a game in my book - at least I didn't buy it to play it as a game myself) that titles like LBP cannot achieve the kind of sales a Gears / Halo / GT / MGS title will.
I'm also lamenting that such a great title's launch was so botched - which I do see as squarely a Sony issue. Media Molecule didn't sound too happy about Sony's approach themselves and I can't blame them.
Still, it is the kind of title that could see a Holiday boost due to the nature of the game.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
