for MGS4 to sell as much as it did on a small userbase is incredible... LBP is currently the face of the PS3 until GT5 and FF launch, and LBP will no doubt bring in many people.

Yeah, I fully believe one game is going to make people want to spend $400 on a PS3. I could buy a Wii and 3 games (4 total including WiiSports) for the same price. Who has the best deal now? $450+~ (including the purchase of LBP and tax) for a system or $400~+ for another system (3 games plus tax). You be the judge.

And if there is advertisement, why am I only seeing so few commercials (I finally saw at least 3 of them for the past two weeks, but only on Comedy Central, Sci-Fi and MTV), plus no one I know even wants the game who owns a PS3 or wants a PS3 for this game. There is 0 hype where I live for this game, so I don't know why you forum users would say it's everywhere when it's not. I see more Wii commercials, some X360 commercials and little to no PS3 commercials, and that's not on children's networks (yes, I watch Nickelodeon for some shows, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, but I mainly watch History Channel, Discovery, Sci-Fi, Travel, MTV, VH1, National Geographic and of course Playboy TV). I've actually seen more Wii commercials on Playboy at times than on other networks. They spammed the Raving Rabbids commercials on that channel a lot. I wonder why

LBP will sell 7-10 mln. LTD.

New IP just needs more time.

No.

YES.

Time will show.

LBP will have GREAT legs. It easy will reach 2-3 mln. by the end of this year. =)

 

Haha, I love your crazyness Crazzyman! xD

As long as they bundle the game, sure, no problem.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

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

Internet PS3 fanboys =/Mass public,Even tho majority of the public is dumb,PS3 fanboys are NOT the general Public.

 



There was a thread, some time ago, where the one who created the thread said that LBP will have 10 -and even had a shot of having 20M LTD. Some people in the thread said that 10 was possible, none of them said 20. But there were a few that said 10M was possible. Others went to 5-7 million.

I remember i went into the thread saying that people shouldnt expect that kind of sales....some people just call me a sony hater =) but it's ok, time will tell.



I don't know who said it first, but I saw Dmeister say it and I thought it was funny so I started saying it wherever it was remotely applicable. I think most people just did it for the lulz, but some actually went insane and seemed to think that it would actually do Halo and SMG numbers. Clearly retarded, because Halo is Halo and Mario is an icon, hence sales. It might have legs, but this argument pretty much ends here. This is the reason.

^its because, belive it or not, there were (still are) people who thought (think) LBP will do those kind of numbers



ioi's word is in

LBP sold a little under 400K in NA last week = 550K + for the "actual week 1

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah, LBP will be huge was started during one of the many anti-LBP weeks, so it began to be said week in and week out and it caught on. >_>

I never thought it'd do more than 5 million, but some people did get beside themselves.



"LBP has done a bit less than 400k upto the 1st Nov."

Does that mean that up to nov 1st the game has a total sales of a lil less that 400K (2 weeks) or that, LBP had a second week of a lil less than 400k????

Lifetime of America is 400k apparently.

So second week sales of 236k.  I was incorrect.  >_>
