So quickly DMJ, what do you expect?

For LBP?

400k+

tad much? You should think of it a different way. Low first week sales....but the legs it will have...

I actually think 400k is a little low, but yeah, I'd say 400k units moved this week.

 

Hmm 400k would be probably not a half bad estimate.  I was thinking more around 300k-350k but I could see it going as high as 400k easily.

I think this would indicate a not too big growth for LBP, unfortunately. Maybe even a drop.

 

Last week for little big planet all sales were while it was still unreleased. I'd say there is a good chance for growth now that it's been officially released.

How do you explain this then? http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1403839

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

If he means WW, it had a ~ 150K week

If he means Americas only, it has a ~ 200K week

If he means since the official release, it has ~ 350K this week.

Why do people continue to buy the Wii for no reason?
Right, I just answered myself.

All you Americans, go out and buy PS3s. Please. Don't hurt an innocent Sackboy :(

EDIT: I've been against it the entire time, but now I accept it. The PS3 needs a price cut to get second place. It will lose Sony money, but what's worse? Losing some money, or losing a brand name? Sony needs to get to work at making the PS3 easier to manufacture and easier to produce. If the PS3 got to US$300, the X360 would die once and for all. Until then, nothing, not Killzone 2, not God of War 3, maybe not even Gran Turismo, will have long term effects. Sure, the PS3 would win for a week, a month, maybe several months, like MGS4. Of course, it's worth mentioning that, had the price cut not occured, the boost from MGS4 would have been permanent. Of course, people were not buying the PS3 for MGS4. But once the wheels started turning, nothing short of a price cut could stop them.

MAYBE a $50 price cut, coupled with Gran Turismo and some other exclusives. I understand that Sony cannot afford to slash the price by $100, but I think that by March, they can cut it by 50 bucks at least. This should keep momentum going, until Gran Turismo and eventually another 50 bucks off keeps the PS3 on a permanent roll.

I had been thinking 'just one more week' for several weeks now. I thought LBP would fix this. It didn't.

*Sigh*

Hmm these numbers don't make any sense. PS3 had lots of new bundles and a shead load of advertising these past few weeks for LBP but yet they drop 4k units to just 65k? I think PS3 has no option but to drop the price now or they are in deep deep trouble. Next week you would expect the Gears 2 release to boost 360 sales. Could be a very bad next few weeks for Sony.


i think i would wait for NPD before saying that.

 

Ah, questioning the credibility of the numbers when they don't swing your way.

You beat you-kno-who to the punch.

 Companys tend to place huge value on brand name, so I guarentee you this thought has been in their heads for a lot longer than it has been in yours. They definately have a very good idea just how much they can afford to lose. And I can guarentee you they have been working constantly to bring down manufacturing costs since before it was released.

 

You have some good points, but I can't imagine why you would think any of this would be news to Sony.
