Problem is, that boost may get it to 250-300k for December. That'd put LBP at a very sad total for the EOY, and well under 1m sold through in the US. That also means that VGC overtracked Valkyria by quite a large sum, and VC sold less than what ToV did in one week in August...For the US. I guess the Playstation 3 really can't sell JRPGs. Even less so than the X360. |
NPD is only tracking LBP at 356k in the US, which is about 27% lower then VG. If VG tracked Others 27% too high also, that would put LBP still under a million world wide. It still might not break a million world wide by then end of the year.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
