Let us check some recent sales so far this year and go with the "popular opinion" here.
Lost Odyssey - Flop
Last Remnant - Flop
Banjo - Flop
Too Human - Flop (Game was supposed to "Change the World")
Tales of Vesperia - Flop
Infinite Undiscovery - Flop
Anything I missed?
I do not think these games are all flops, but it only seems fair seeing as how all these games more than likely cost more to develop than LBP did. Not to mention sold less.
Only games on that list released in the same period of time as LBP are Banjo and The Last Remnant, both only around 20% of LBP sales. Both games will be lucky to get LTD sales equal to half of LBP current sales.
Seriously, it is sad that people believe the only meaning of "success" is 2-3M+ sales. They could not be more wrong.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
