Not to be rude but how much of the sales comes from the really really cheap prices it has? I mean I can buy this game here in Sweden new for less then 1/3 of the full price it had when it was released. |
Ditto. And it went down to less than half price right after Christmas 2008. In UK too I heard our English friends say here on VGC.
Plus it's been bundled.
|
The massive price cuts were only in Europe. Our friends across the Atlantic were paying full price for quite a while.
And it wasn't heavily bundled, or anything.
|
It's good to see many rational posters understand this.
|
For christmas 2008 and most of 2009 is was pretty hard finding a PS3 without a copy of LBP bundled, in the UK anyway (and most of Europe importing from UK).
|
I still wouldn't call that "HEAVY" bundling.
And, how many of those sales have attributed to the overall total? The game did well, I don't get people's issues.
|
I don't know what's the deal with you and many people here. People are just saying what happend with the game: price cut really soon, it was bundled**
Nobody is saying it didn't do good, I don't know what's your issue with trying to kind of downplay that it was bundled, and that really added a lot of sales to the total. I don't really see how saying that it was bundled is an issue. He is just saying nothing but the real deal.
The game was supposed to be huge for sony, they even mentioned that sackboy could have been sony's mascot. But it didn't turn the way sony was expecting. Still, is not bad for a new IP (I don't see a lot of games, specially new IP, hitting 3 million lately anywayz)
I just don't get how some people get defensive when others mentioned price cut and bundles.
**What exactly is heavy bundled? B/c a game that after a few weeks is bundled, and next year is almost bundled in every single system... at least for me, that's heavy bundling
|
It wasn't bundled in the US though was it?
|
Not that i've ever witnessed. I think it was just the UK, although I could be wrong.
|
No US bundling at all. The Uncharted bundle was the only bundle in the US when LBP launched. And UK's might make up of... oh 50k sales... IF that.
