| CGI-Quality said: The "lower than expected" sales, IMO, don't reflect the quality nor innovation, yes it's innovative, of LBP. I think it's more along the lines of it couldn't sell better in this situation due to the high price point of the PS3. LBP would have sold lots more but people just couldn't afford the system, which was understandable. However, LBP was advertised, recieved excellent reviews/word of mouth so why else didn't it sell more...because a $400 console isn't welcoming to lots of parents during a recession of this nature AND with other options that will suffice: Xbox 360 & Wii, remember, those two systems still offer plenty. I say, in lieu of all these circumstances against LBP, it still sold nearly 2mill in 3 months as a new IP, on a $400 console. For that, it's a success regardless of a few outlandish predictions from a few fans and NOT from MM/Sony. Answer to OP: YES it was a great success. |
so if lbp was made for another cheaper console you think it could of sold over 5 million?
