I don't think LBP franchise has a future. Sony struggles with keeping a lot of their long standing franchises alive.

GoW and Uncharted seem the exception, although Uncharted really isn't that old. And GoW: Ascension wasn't that great nor did it sell that well. 

LBP3 has already sold 350k in 2 weeks in the US and 1 week elsewhere. Way to exaggerate lol. It will easily reach 1m+ in December

I thought the sales were pretty poor.

I mean, people say Bayonetta 2 is a failure and that game sold over 400k according to VGCHARTZ. LBP sold over 5 million, Bayonetta 1 sold like 1M on the PS3. VGCHARTZ has LBP 3 at 350k. 

What a terribel comparison. Both Bayonetta 1 and 2 were financial failures. The pure numbers sold aren't as important. But I do hope you continue in af ew months when LBP3 is still chugging along well past 1 million.

Because you know how much it cost to make Bayonetta 2?

LBP3 is a major fail compared to the sales of its predecessors.

We know Bayonetta 1 was a financial failure. We know Bayonetta 2 cost more than Bayonetta. Phew, that was some investigation.

And LBP has never done huge numbers FW. It just consistently sells for years. LBP1 and 2's FW are not far ahead of LBP3's FW. As for its third week, it's way ahead of LBP1 and only 80k behind LBP2. Hardly a major fail.

Can you show me this? I believe you I am just curious to look at this myself or is there no way other than remembering and being here?

For which one? The first part is sourced interviews about W101, Bayonetta and Platinum.

For the 2nd part, you can use the VGC games database. You can use the global tab to see weekly sales from weeks 1-10.

Where are your sources? The game looks extremely cheap to me. Can't have costed much. Nintendo never spends huge budgets on games. 

I doubt LBP3 will ever reach even half the sales of the first LBP. The game also had very disappointing reviews, that will impact sales.

LBP3 is now at over 500k on PS4. That's less than 3 weeks. How about you give it some time until you call it a failure. Did you expect it to sell 5m in 2 weeks?

LBp3 will easily top Bayonetta 1 PS3 version and it will outsell Bayonetta 2 multiple times over. You just need to give it some time to sell...

Only fail is you.  Have posted nothing to show LBP3 lower sales that could be called a fail by any stretch of the imagination well except yors of course.

If you do look at sales do try to wrap your mind around the fact LBP fw is tiny in light of lt sales and now also factor in digital.

So 2.5 million is a failure? That is fine to sustain the series.

Please use reason.

Factor in the PS3 version and LBP3 is doing very well compared to its predecessors, especially when you consider the "lackluster" Meta compared to the other 2.
