LBP is a wonderful game. Simply brilliant. 600k first week is great, the skeptics will follow. Around 1.5mil in the first month is possible, which is super for a new IP. Already there are tons of user generated levels, more and more will follow. This game is a win.



Gears catch up ;P It's 2:2 now. But seriously, not that good for LBP in Ireland.

In Germany Gow2 did not appear and does not become it also, therefore 2-1 for Gow 2

LBP is only 4th on the all formats, behind Fifa09 and Fallout 3.
That implies that there is still a huge sales difference between GoW 2 and LBP.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Obviously, we already have the sales number up.



4-1 for Gears after Australia and New Zealand

@Fabius: It's 3:2 for Gears.

Gears won in:
UK
Australia
Ireland

LBP:
Germany
Netherlands

Neither Gears nor LBP debuted in NZ. Not sure why, maybe they getting them later or mabye Gears is banned? Hard to imagine Gears wouldn't debut in top 10.
