Forums - Sony - Let's clear this up! What do Sony fans expect LBP to sell?

Starcraft, not every PS3 onwer is a "Sony fan". I love the PS brand but aside from that, I'll never buy any of their products, I'm not a "Sony fan". As for LBP, 2 million by the end of the year, 3.5 million LTD.

I'm confused. IS LBP out in Americas????

VGC homepage has LBP first week sales for LBP as 164,000. The same week that Fable 2 did 705,000

American Top 5, 25th Oct 2008
1 Fable II 705,162
2 Wii Sports 260,139
3 Wii Fit 168,419
4 LittleBigPlanet 164,434
5 Far Cry 2 116,358

Going by this as I said many times before it's all forum internet hype and is very niche market.

I expect possibly 1.3 mill by Dec 31st (that could be generous) and maybe possibly 2.4 mill LT.

 

rouge stores like walmart, target, CC, were selling it, you know those small bottom feeding stores no one goes to

I doubt you were able to find any copies of Little Big Planet at these stores on or before 10/25.  The 164k number is mainly people that were able to pick up their preorders late in the day on 10/25.  The Gamestop I preordered from would only fill preorders on 10/25. 

Including the 10/25 data I project 500k in NA, 75k in Japan, and 750k in Others for week 0 + week 1.  Not bad for a team of 30 developers.

 

 

i bought  a copy of lbp and resold it from my local walmart, made the money off of it to buy both fable 2, and dead space (they refused to sell me fable till 8 am ) we  talked about this in another thread 

edit, on top of that i showed the manager the recall with my phones internet, i was pissed because i had been waiting in line with other fable guys for almost an hour before they siad its not coming till 8am since they could not figure out how to sell it.....

with lbp i took it over to a game stop and sold it to some guy who was pissed he couldnt get lbp on that day

I have never seen 4mil min. in with sony fans.... but judging from your recent threads you've made this is just some more flamebait.... sigh.

i've remember claims as high as 10M.  can't remember who so it wasn't nessassarily an active member but still.

"LBP will be huge"....you can't tell me you haven't seen that stated about half a billion times on these forums.

Gearbox made this thread about LBP selling 10m, but I don't think he should count in the same way CrazzyMan's posts shouldn't be taken serious.

"LBP will be huge" shouldn't count either, because it was started by someone who doesn't even own a PS3.

 

 

Should count, he have a cell processor inside his @ss........ emotion engine removed

 



 

 

Sick of SackBoy threads

I just don't see this game selling more than God of War 3 or Killzone 2



Anything over 3 Million Is fantastic. What do you expect starcraft?



Around the Network

I say 5m LTD, about 2m this year, with a large opening next week in the US (500k) and a decent opening in others (200k) but it will have great legs

EDIT: I realised my post was quite contradictory



"LBP will be Sonys Wii sports", "Every type of gamer will buy LBP" and "LBP will sell 10 million+ easily".

That's things I've seen people write on this site.

By the looks of it, it'll be very lucky to ever hit 3 million.



in my opinion (and ofcourse I can't speak for all the "Sony fans") it's expected to atleast break 1 million, does very good if it reaches 2 million and is huge if it manages to sell more than 3 million copies

this year it should be able to make it to the 1 million mark everyone is expecting of it



It will sell a million to a million and a half this year, and excellent legs will carry it to 3-4 million lifetime. Possibly 5 million, but that's just wishful thinking.



2 million LTD.
