People are never going to see LBP as a success

I think it's selling very poorly and only managed to get most of the sales it has due to being force bundled. I know it sounds harsh but I think the numbers back up the conclusion. If you look at this weeks sales you can see that in the areas where it is only lightly bundled (Americas, Japan) it has only managed 70k combined sales this week. Then if you look at Europe where it is heavily bundled (about 50% of consoles in the UK) it has 120k sales. I think it's obvious that bundles are pushing the sales of this product heavily as it is pretty much just a free game and you do not have a lot of other options when it comes to bundle choices.

The only reason I stumbled onto this information was because I want to buy a ps3 again but I'm not a huge fan of LBP and was getting a bit annoyed trying to find a bundle that did not have LBP or Call of Duty.

For an example of how heavily bundled it is in the UK, Amazon UK only has a choice of three free games with the PS3 and one of them is LBP. You are allowed to choose 2 of them when you buy a console.... unless you have a motor storm fetish you are getting LBP.

 

 you arent looking hard enough if you cant find a none lbp bundle. america doesn't have bundles and japan only makes up like 4k out of thar 70k. Europe has ALWAYS bought more SW than US for ps3 too AND more ps3's are sold weekly there.
