I'll say 5mill LTD but that # will probably prove to be too low, but Starcraft SEEMS to like the game more than Sony fans considering all these threads he makes consist of Little BIG Planet: predictions, info, sales, quotes, Sackboys you name it, he makes a thread about it.

I like good games.

This looks like one of them.

I'm just amazed at the naive attitudes of many people when it comes to their beliefs over the number of copies this game will sell, number of consoles it will shift and what it means for gaming at large.

I remember when people like Starcraft were making fun of PS fanboys when they said Uncharted will pass 1 million. Now that game is close to 2 million and selling better then ME and Bioshock. Both these over rated game sold just around 2 million on much bigger install base.

I never said anything about Uncharted struggling to sell 1 million to my knowledge.

Link?

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

I would say that this is close.

I expect 1.5 to be the mimimum to avoid the impression of failure (relatively speaking of course. These sales would make it a commercial success).

I believe good is 2.5.

I believe 3.5 is extremely good.

I believe 4 million is huge. I also do not believe the title will make 4 million within the next two years.

ya know. We could have 99 people here articulate their answer intelligently and even be correct....and we could have 1 crazzy man, and starcraft and others would still say "sony fans" in response to that one person. *sigh*

What about these Sony fans?

oh i see youre citing a random internet poll that could allow for multiple profiles, perhaps no profiles at all....and the absense of any reasoning to see if whoever is voting in these polls either A) has any idea what theyre talking about or B) can put together a coherant sentence.

Yeah lets get those "sony fans" nice detective work gumshoe.

Okay, fine. Then please be one of the 99 people and articulate your answer.

i dont have a clue. thus im keeping my mouth shut. See how that works? when i dont know enough about something i dont chime in. it does wonders.

I probably should not respond, since you only wanted responses from "Sony fans", and I do not own a PS3.

Anyway, I predict 3-4 million sales.

Like most people making predictions this high, I expect it to be bundled with the system for a long time. Look at what bundling did for Motorstorm. It is at 3.5 million now.

Did you just say "LBP will be huge"?

Thanks for the input, Jeff.
