i hope this game will sell well. its no secret that the game would have probably sold better o the Wii but little big planet is so diff that it should generate interest from people that you wouldnt expect
I don't think it will sell. Unfortunately, new and different has not fared well on Sony consoles.
It looks very interesting. But it is probably not something that people who have been waiting for it are going to pick up early on.
So legs will depend upon word-of-mouth.
Plus, the downside of user-created content is that if the users go to something else, the game suffers.

i'll be buying this game. no question about it. all of my friends who have a PS3 said they will buy it, but everyone else who has a wii or 360 thinks it'll fail.....

I want this game first day!
Oh and borkachev is right, sackboy could be the new mascot, i mean look at him/her!
It looks awesome, sony should ship the game with a free sackboy doll. That is good marketing.

300k worldwide launch
1-2 million lifetime ww
conservative yes, but I just dont see this kinda of game as Sony`s strengh, unles they hype it from here on end.
| Borkachev said: It's completely out of the question for it to sell "terribly" at this point. 500,000 copies is guaranteed. I don't expect a huge first week a la MGS4, simply because it's not a sequel to something, but I think it'll do a few hundred thousand without much trouble. My conservative estimate for lifetime sales is 4 million. Yeah, I went there. Everyone in this thread is trying to base the game and its sales on some previous title: Viva Pinata, Mario, Okami, Ratchet & Clank, MGS4. The fact is that not everything is predicted by what came before it. That's why you guys (I mean the generic "you," those who thought like you, not necessarily you specifically) were calling doom and gloom for the Wii before it came out because the N64 and GC did poorly, and this was just a less powerful (relatively) and more expensive version of those. Meanwhile, those of us who saw that the Wii was something genuinely new and exciting were predicting big things for it from the start, though I don't imagine any of us knew it would be quite this big. I get that same feeling from LBP. You can't break it down into its component parts and construct its sales. It's a platformer, but it's nothing like any platformer that we've ever seen. People like me who are bored silly of platformers are pumped about it. It's got a "cute" art style, but it's a whole new kind of hyper-realistic cute, not Nintendo-cute. It's a level-editing game, but with a far more enthralling level editor than we've seen before. It's the combination of a lot of things that are driving a massive level of hype. And the hype alone is reason enough that the game shouldn't be spoken in the same sentence with something like Okami, Ratchet & Clank, or Viva Pinata. This game has the power to glue Sony's IPs together like nothing before it. If I were in Sony's shoes I'd market this game with developer made content packs/levels that tie into Sony's larger stable of IPs. A Killzone, God of War, Rachet and Clank, or Uncharted download pack with items, costums, and textures from those games would sell like crazy to fans of those games (the sort of fan service Nintendo capitalizes on with Smash Bros.) Do this, and the game will sell like crazy. Here's another good point. I see the sackboy becoming the new Sony mascot. If they play it right, he could carry them a long way. Rather than just selling these download packs, Sony could package the other games themselves with the content, or with codes to download it for free. Buy God of War and get the GoW content pack in LBP. It would be a brilliant way to promote both games. |

WHAT?
DDR sold millions of game in the ps2, buzz and singstars are great beginning to expand their casual market, a market they had in the ps2 era (that still not over)
i am starting to get sick of the anti ps3 in this site.
sony got a huge opportunity with this game and home, if they play their card right it could sells millions easily, considering its comming near chritmas it will have huge legs.
It will sell 750k plus in the first 2 weeks and reach 1 mil by AT LEAST week 10.
if sony makes a slim ps3 then they wiull win this gen console war
It should sell decent not crazy amounts or anything. I have two PS3s and I do not plan on buying it.
