Tis neither FLOP Nor HIT

Pour shame on the haters who say it flopped hard

Laugh long at the fanboys who make up every excuse under the sun as to why it only sold 3 mil and used to post "LBP is GONNA OWN HALO" and "SACKBOY WILL BE THE NEW MARIO"

Lord its nice sometimes, to be able to sit back and not give a SH!T

I'd love to see just ONE post that said that.

I'm lazy, but I'd wager someone said that. LBP brought out a lot of funny behavior. I can tell you a good place to start looking for that type of post if you are dedicated enough. Rock_On's thread about LBP being the Mario killer is likely to have brought it out. You would need to look in more than a few people's individual post history as they have been permabanned. Crazzyman is the other one I could think of since he routinely predicted 7-8 million as I recall.

On topic:
Clearly not a flop, but I would say it is probably performing under-expectations. Sony was pushing hard for it to be the mascot before release, but that all died off quite some time ago. Of course that is far from the best measure of whether or not the game should be considered a success. As it has gotten a sequel, and continues to see developer support it would be impossible to claim it was anything but profitable for the company. Expectations were just a bit too high for it this time around.
