.............i cant belive this guy just said litle big planet wont sell 1million.......


WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKEING!!!!!


cause it won't. singstar, eye of judgment anyone?

ps3 don't have wii or even ps2 audience. if lbp was a shooter(and even better an online shooter) it would cause ps3 just like x360 are consoles for FPS fans.


That's a bit narrow minded view, I am not a FPS player, don't like them, find them odd to play on consoles, yet I own only the PS3. PS3 has it's casual audience else Singstar and games like FIFA 08 or PES 08 would have not sold.

LBP will be advertised one heck of a lot.


 if those games would be released now on gameboy color probably would sell few milions too. sports games always sell well no mater what(especially games from ea sports and pes series). singstar is from sony and compared to ps2s singstar it just bombed on ps3. ps360 are consoles for action games and we all know it.

The PS3 simply doesn't have the software moving ability of more succesful consoles like the PS2 or Wii.

*cough* Xbox 360 *cough*


You could also argue that the 360 moves more software, but having been on the market for twice as long kinda screws up the comparison. I preferred to use clear examples of market leaders with the highest install base, and software sales. The PS3 has had a better attach rate on a number of new titles, and it's catching up with total install base, so it gets kinda dodgy.

The reason people are skeptical of the sales of Little Big Planet is how it's so much different to the stuff that normally sells on the PS3 (mostly shooters and racers), and generally has "underappreciated niche title" written all over it. A lot of gamers online are excited about it, but that was also the case with No More Heroes and Zack&Wiki on the Wii. Of course those also had the problems of little to no advertisement, and retailers being conservative with ordering them.

Seeing as how Sony will probably advertise it quite a bit, LBP will be a good test for the whole "the userbase of console X prefers game type Y, so game Z will do badly!" argument.


LBP has a lot more excitment surrounding it than NMH or Z&W had. Btw, when was Ratchet and Heavenly Sword bundled? I remember Resistance and Motorstorm being bundled. A lot of the games mentioned last year are on this list. Thes that came out didn't get the reviews a lot of people hoped for. Check the million seller list for PS3. It's growing a lot faster than most of last year. Also, you mention that it takes a high profle title to sell a million on PS3. That list is full of such games. Finally: starcraft is only trolling and adding nothing.

Lair. hmm looked promising in the beginning, but it was to much of a different game experiance to make it a must have game, with frustrating at times mission structure and a motion only control scheme. it did not appeal to the mass market. although the game does have a small fanbase now and has moved 320k units not including EU numbers which would probably make it near mabey 450k - 500k mark. it ends up being an average or below average game but has sold suprisingly well given the reviews it recived. on the flip side my idea of a fail would goto a 1st person exclusive shooter called "hour of victory" <---- seriously broken

nice and neat little troll there! ^ iv corrected the above

 DS version of PES and FIFA 08 are struggling to sell millions. But I get your point, the main issue is timing, Buzz and Singstar came out at a time when the PS2 was at it's height, millions of the dang things were everywhere and it was the casual console of choice. But there were approximately 7 times more PS2s in the world when Singstar was released on PS2 then on PS3 and I think it's done alright so far for a casual game. LBP isn't as casual as Singstar though and will appeal to more gamers as well as casuals who think it looks cute.



Hmm, pie.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't alter my posts to make them appear different yet still endorsed by me.

In any case, Hour of Victory (whilst crap) was never hyped.  Lair was hyped as being one of the biggest system sellers the PS3 would have.

sorry was only a little joke dont take it seriously. ^

my point being was that lair was hyped because it looked brilliant from videos and people couldnt wait to try it, but the truth is because of the control and frustrating mission structure it ended up below average. i dont think lair was hyped as a big system seller, if it was going to be hyped as a big system seller, then sony would have advertised the hell out of it, which would then = a fail.

theres much worse games on all 3 systems than lair. i wouldnt really call lair as shovelware either, many people who bought it actually like it plus vgchartz is about sales and would have to say lair has done suprisingly well in accordance to how it was recived by reviewers.

no it wasn't. People were excited about riding a dragon, but the game turned out to suck. It happens. Your original post is 1 word, so at least this version had text to it that I still don't see in your original post. Btw, don't know how you had 12 Xbox 360 games 90% and above on metacritic before in your sig, but there's 12 right now and 4 for PS3. Among those 12 for 360 is a game that has a sequel that makes it irrelavant (GR:AW) and a game that's on PS2 and only up there because the 360 came out earlier (GH2). You could include a lot of PS2 games if you want to play that game. Persona 3: FES and God of War 2 are playable on my PS3, too.

But not on all PS3's...........
