People are never going to see LBP as a success

[Comrade Tovya]

I wouldn't be the one to say that the game is a failure, because it's had reputable sales numbers... but what the naysayers (myself included) are saying that the numbers are not as good as Sony anticipated.

Sony hyped the game as the second coming, and it just hasn't been.

Does it mean it's not a good game? No, of course not... it's just not the blockbuster, "gotta get a PS3 now" game that Sony had hoped for.

Although it is rather ironic that a company like Sony, who's target has been the "hardcore" gamer decided to use a "casual" style game to try and push their console over the top.

So in closing, not many people are saying that LBP is a failure, but it goes without saying that it's not the huge hit that Sony expected... and that's Sony's fault. They marketed the game in way that said, "hey, look at this cute game... what is it? Don't worry about it, just buy it and find out on your own".

I'm sorry, but that's no way to market a game that you've crowned as the PS3 messiah.
