So you're going to use Amazon sales as a reason why it rose six places on the charts?

Okay. Sure. We all know that Amazon is a drop in the bucket of sales in any country. That's why we don't use the "best sellers" list on here, cause it's crap. We don't know the stock that Amazon has/had of LBP. Maybe in the week on sale it only sold 10 units, or it sold 10,000. We have no clue cause Amazon doesn't tell us the amount of stock on a unit.

Trust me, I'm not defending LBP to death, anyone in their right mind would not use Amazon for a rise in sales.

Also, I used U.S. Amazon to prove that a game could rise in sales from the previous week but not be on sale, as LBP did have sales rise in the Americas. I also used U.S. Amazon to prove a point that the game was on sale yesterday, and wasn't today. Which could easily happen to LBP.

And I don't give a flying fuck if people said sales were "disappointing" or not, cause they aren't. I'm not sure too many new IPs can sell 1 million in 6 weeks. I mean, look at Mirror's edge. Out on two platforms and couldn't manage even half of that. It's ugly out there for new IPs, and the fact that LBP managed what it did is a feat in itself. I'm not disappointed in all by sales, as it seems to be following the trend that I said it would. I guess if I was gauging success by outlandish predictions, I'd be disappointed, but only LBP haters are since they feel a need to marginalize the games success... I suppose that puts you into that group since you constantly feel the need to bring the game down...

Sigh.

This LBP hate is getting old and sad. Using Amazon to marginalize sales? Fail.
