Forums - Sales Discussion - Can LBP sell more than Wii music in JAPAN?

Mummelmann on 22 October 2008

Hmm, they'll be a lot closer to each other in sales than most people expect I think. Wii Music will probably edge it out though despite being the (seemingly at least) Wii series' lowest seller overall in Japan.

 you say it like its a good thing..

 

 I hope with every fiber of my being that Little Big Planet will become the best sellin game ever but its obvious that it wont. Its obvious that it wont outsell Wii Music as well.

Japan doesn't like online gaming, or western games, so no.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Likely in the first few weeks, but lifetime, no way.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

First week, possible. 100K is a low bar.
Lifetime, no way. Too many Wiis.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Do you just not listen when people point out that you don't need to play online or do you just insist on trolling with the same statements over and over again until you feel you're right because no one has corrected you?

On a side note, I think Wii Music will outsell LittleBigPlanet overall but will go down as a major disappointment when it comes to numbers sold.

 

Did you realize you don't need an internet connection to enjoy your iPod?  You can sing your own songs and save them as mp3. Did you ever consider that, you big mean troll?
