The game has sold pretty well and if you look at the numbers it is very possible that Sony are already near manking up for all the production costs for the game. 25 people were working on it so it most definitely did not cost many millions to make like a Killzone 2 so financially and critically the game is a success.

Anyone under the belief that this game was going to sell 5M LTD were living in kuku land, Killzone 2 will reach that number and GT5 double but never LBP. 3M LTD if bundled my estimation.

I believe comparing LBP to Galaxy is the wrong way to go.

Galaxy was created by a Japanese dev while LBP was created by European devs.

If LBP was created by SCEJ I am sure it would have sold a lot more in Japan.

Western developed games tend to not sell very well if I am not mistaken.

Sorry I forgot to mention my estimate on LTD sales.

I expect between 2.5-3M.

LBP compared to Galaxy?

New IP compared to sequel?

How does that work?

Well so far....week 1, not impressive. Not impressive at all. Especially with the over hype, the huge advertisement, the "OMG LBP will be huge," BEST game of all time...million seller first week, 10 million, and has a shot to 20 million (lol) at the end of its cycle.... etc etc. and once more, being the so long awaited savior for the ps3.

My question is....how is it gonna be with America??? The first week [so called week 0] of sales will be added to the sales of the second week [week 1 for some people] to get the "official" first week sales????

Seriously, this game wont be even close as huge as so many people predicted (wished). Sorry

Some people are just silly making those kinds of predictions but there are always from each side such as people believing Banjo 3 will sell a million and be AAA, really funny but idiotic stuff. This game is not in the class of a MGS in terms of sales let alone a GT.

This game will have bigger legs then you have ever imagined.

Agreed. Instead of wasting tons of money on LBP advertising, Sony would have been better off advertising stuff like PSP which has far more latent sales potential.

LBP will sell 7-10 mln. LTD.

New IP just needs more time.

not just ANY sequel......a sequel in the "most powerful gaming franchise that has shipped over 200 Million units WW"
