Forums - Gaming - The Next big flop

littlebigplanet might just flop because the game is rather confusing. a lot of people see it and just scratch their heads. they don't know what the game is even about.

 If the hype is 5 million, 2 million is a flop.   I personally don't expect it to hit 2 million.

 

 

*rolleyes* In other words you want the hype to be at 5 million to be able to claim it's a "flop" even if it hits 2 million units sold in lifetime sales huh?


I think most of the games supporters are with me, when I say 1million is the expectation, 1.5 million nice and 2 million fantastic - 2 million+ would be an outstanding achivement for LBP.

depends if it gets bundled for a long time or not.



It depends.If we speak of a hyped game that has poor reviews and then sells worse than expected ....then LBP and Fable 2 are in risk.

I do?  Really?    I really want LBP's hype to be at 5 million?   I didn't know I wanted that.  Thanks for informing me.  

Anything else I want that I don't know yet?

GoW2 I kid, I kid, mmmmm thats a tough one maybe MK vs DC universe



I don't understand how can anyone say Spore will flop, when just the Creature Creator alone was recieved greatly from both gamers and critics (83% on Metacritic).

If just the Spore Creature Creator was able to get 83% average, then imagine how Spore can get.



@ Viper1 )

if you suggest that everyone and his cat is expecting LBP to easily hit 5million because 3 or 4 users here said so, then in my (not so humble) opinion it's because you want to believe everyone is thinking the same they are ...
and are probably looking forward to make use of your self-granted bragging rights, if the game fails to hit 5million units sold (or is looking to fail that mark)

.. atleast that's the impression I got from your post I initially replied to



LBP is in the risk.

I think 2.5 million lifetime-sales and this is a flop, considering the huge advertisement made by Sony. 3 million would be okay, more than 4 million would be a success and 5 million would be great.

 

Fable2 will be at 3-4 million lifetime-sales, I estimate. Everything more than 4 million is great. Lower than 2.5 Millions is a flop, lower than 1.5 millions is a catastrophe.

 

But I guess Banjo will be a flop or a huge success, I just don't know.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Infinite Undiscovery looks like its in trouble in Japan. Even by the standards of a 360 game it may come in below expectations. 50k week one looks pretty optimistic at the moment.
