People are never going to see LBP as a success

I certainly have some pages bookmarked where "some" people and "a mod" said it would be lucky if it sold 500 k LOL?
it is a success and I hope it will sell more
finally, we can't just forget some of the other predictions claiming the game will sell a lot more than that but it doesn't matter anyway

 

 you mean....

It will probably sell something in the area of 600k copies and eventually develop into a small ittle niche community. Sadly with the advertising and time spent on this game, 600k copies won't make them any money.

 

Undying said: We all know the game will most likly be great, but as history has taught us great=/= great sales.

Is there even a market for LBP? Will the game be a run away sucess? Lets take off our fanboy hats and really think about it.

I don't see this game doing very well. Who is the demographic for this game? Kids? Adults? Casual gamers? Hardcore gamers? Are there enough of that demographic on the PS3? Something just tells me that this game will not do well.



First week sales 100k

Life time 300k

Is 300k a flop for this game?

and I didn't even have iot bookmarked it was just a quick 5 minute search. Now imagine if I really felt like going through the thread especially before the "lbp will be huge" threads everday talking about how lbp will flop because they cant see appeal or the game looks dull.

 

 

 

lool at those prediction,,but i m sure there were some PS3 fans with unrealistic expectations as well. (5 million ltd)

 

crow served ;)
