You know, I can't help wondering why there's such a sense of nasty gloating around LBP sales. I presume it started focused on over-enthusiastic people who started proclaiming it would be the biggest thing ever... a response I can understand to an extent as the 'LBP will be HUGE' stuff got old fast.
But now I feel this is being passed directly on to the game itself and by extension its developers, Media Molecule which is just plain shameful and frankly I don't understand it at all. It's as if people would rather such titles are stifled in favour of yet another generic release with a number in the title, or feel they have to attack without reason anything they see as being on 'the opposing' console... a state of mind which is plain nuts.
A small developer has brought out a very good game, its got great reviews, and its sold well for what it is, it's not a bad game, the developers aren't some souless conglomerate giant, and the title was clearly made with passion to be fun and inspire creativity.
Besides, its clearly going to sell a million within a short period of time and get more than acceptable LTD sales. If LBP is a flop based on sales then take a look at how many other games must also be 'flops' then. It's going to sell well, its reviewed brilliantly, and that's all there is to it in the end.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
