I dont know what to expect saleswise from LBP...im hoping for big sales, expecting decent sales and praying it sells full stop
LittleBigPlanet is not a big budget game in anyway. It was created by a team that started off with 5 people, which then expanded to about 30. This is an average budget game at most.
Over 500K sales is all that is needed for LBP to be a success. Anyone saying less than 1M is a flop are just deluding themselves.
@FishyJoe
Bit unfair to compare a new IP to a Mario game, sales wise isn't it?

^ this.
If you mean whether LBP will have a "Zack and Wiki" level, then probably not. Because Zack & Wiki's name is simply not big enough to attract people making its level or people playing it.
Lair, on the other hand, is more likely. LOL

tombi123, wait. So was I dreaming when I saw a poll on this site that had a majority of people sayin LBP would be the highest selling game of the season? Now you are saying that under 1 million would not be a disappointment? That would put it in last place on that list.

I think 1 million would be a success, but not the sales it deserves. That is why I compared it to Z&W, it was a success, but did not get the sales it should have for its quality. This is not a flop or not thread, it is a- will it be a success(like Z&W) or a runaway success. I am suggesting that it uniqueness will hold it back from having amazing sales... That is where the comparison to Z&W is at.
I should had stated that I was assuming that it would be a success.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
While I think the game will not make record sales like OOT or GTA games, I think it will do well, as seeing how much hype is around it, and early reviews coming in from the beta. I'd be very shocked if it doesn't become a million seller WW
I can't believe how many people are misunderstanding the thread.
This game will do very well. The review scores are excellent, and the game will sell at least as much as Ratchet & Clank based on marketing alone, let alone how damn awesome the game is.
LBP will make the most money ever for a PS3 exclusive game
Like mm said this game simply can't flop . If the game itself is a piece of shit then it's got Sony's aggresive marketing and promotion to rely on , if the game isn't marketed enough then it's got critical acclaim to fall back on . LBP will do 2 million lifetime sales at the bare minimum and 4-6 million upper limit.
