There's a HUGE difference though.  There's hype, which a lot of games need.  Then there's overhype which leads people to believe in over ambitious expectations, that fall short and will scar people from purchasing games from the creating company, or sequel games. 

I wouldn't want any game mentioned here to flop, but I also don't want people finding out the game was hardly what they thought.  Think about your first sexual experience.   Most of the time it's a huge flop (haha :P)

Hmm...

1.)Kingdom Hearts 3
2.)final Fantasy XIII
3.)Motor Storm 2 (People actually seem to think this is some kinda huge franchise :()
4.)Gears 2

That's all I can think of right now.

Define "a lot" because really I think it depends what you think of as "unacceptable".  I read a Conduit sales thread where many predicted 2.5-3m.  Don't you think that might be a bit unrealistic considerring that we have no idea what kind of backing this game is going to get for marketting? 

And what's unrealistic for LBP, is 2.5-3m unrealistic....anything above 1m?  Or are you just using the 10m prediction that Gearbox made.....because sure that's an awful prediction....but I've seen people equate The Conduit with Goldeneye in terms of gameplay.....which seems like a bit much without ever playing it don't you think?

Yes, I was just talking about sales though. The problem is that well, Gearbox, Rock_On, CrazzyMan and some random posters stated that they believe LBP will sell more than 5 million. There were some stupid predictions made for The Conduit too, like anything above 2 million is stupid IMO, but in the thread where some1 asked about Madworld and The Conduit sales almost no one stated ridiculous numbers http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=37040 I can only see PS fans saying it will be a terrible flop.

useless thread is useless.

This thread is almost as overhyped as LBP.

I dont think SOCOM will be that great. From watching the movies on the PSN it didnt seem too polished. But maybe thats cause ive been playing MGS4 alot.

And in this thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=34208
there are 3 people talking about Conduit getting more than 2 million within the first page that I counted....and more after that.

and here's a thread about LBP with Nintendo fans calling the game too kiddy for PS3 owners: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=29996

I still don't see how the games are different....both have people with unrealistic expectations.....both are talked down by the fans of their competitors.

anything on the 360.

i used to think LBP was overrated, but because its one of the only good games coming to the PS3 it should be overrated. i hope its good. then ill buy it

wow, some are the post here were predictable
