What really caught my attention is the numbers for LBP. They seem... quite low...

 

LBP will do it's best after people get their hands on it... I see it as a big game on Gamefly... personally think it should be 40 bucks like Banjo

 

I agree. Drop it to 40 bucks like Banjo and it becomes an interesting game to me. That said, Sony doesn't need to do that, since reviewers will sell the game for them. However, at 40 bucks, this game could turn into Sony's Mario Brothers. It's just tough to sell a game you spent so much money and time on, at a bargin price.

I've always suspected LBP may struggle to find its audience at first. It should have a solid first week due to interent hype, but like NMH, interent hype isn't always enough to push a game that people don't understand.

I could be totally wrong and the game could sell 4 million copies by Jaunary 09, though, because I'm just guessing with my own brand of reasoning which is often wrong.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

So wait....I may be missing something. In the average store poled 4k units of GeoW2 and 2.5k units of Fable 2 have been pre-ordered?

 

No. If you read what was written, he says it's multiple stores (possibly the entire region) of a franchise.
