| SlorgNet said: LBP sales are impressive, given that there are only 17.6 million PS3s in the hands of owners. It's a casual game for a console which is still a bit expensive for the mass market, so once the $299 PS3s arrive next year, you'll see a huge "tail" of second and third-year sales. The real importance of LBP is that it signals a huge change in gaming. Power is slipping away from the giant media monopolies, in favor of fan-based gaming, based on non-commercialism and sharing. Some of the designs created by LBP fans are incredible, better than any commercial designer could have come up with. This is a good thing for gaming, and the monopolies will just have to learn to accept the reality that gaming has its own vibrant, non-profit public spaces. |
PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E
Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.
My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.
