Can someone explain why people thought that Playstation All-Stars would sell millions of copies?

oh hang on, just asked my daughter, she rembers it too. so now its 3v2.  hmmm?

Oh noes, WHATEVER WILL WE DO!?  

In all seriousness though, enough, Kowen.  Over the holidays, I watched a lot of TV on ITV1/C4/C5, ITV2/E4/5*, Sky Sports News/Challenge/Dave.  These channels were absolutely littered with adverts for Vita, Wonderbook & "family fun" (as in, at least 1 for each per ad-break) and I did not see PSABR advert a single time.  Not even once.

If you watched different channels to these with your daughter, and it was shown "a lot", then whatever, I believe you.  I find it strange that Sony would target the demographic who watch the same channels as me with all their adverts except one, but there you go.  

I can report for Germany. Sony spammed advertising for this game on almost every TV channel, twice per break, if not more. Impossible not to know about this game here, still nobody seems to care (20k sales last I checked)
