Forums - Sales - LBP Sales week 2 -- Increase of 60K in NA! 400K WW! Good Or Bad??

It all depends on your expectations:

If you regard Little Big Planet as a quality addition to the PS3 library that will see strong (2-3m lifetime) sales, you should be happy. It's right where it should be.

If you're one of the people who has been touting Little Big Planet as Sony's salvation, well, you've got some explaining to do because it did nothing to improve hardware sales.

Expect to see massive spinning and downgrading of LBP expectations from Sony fans over the next few weeks. You can already see it in this thread, actually (e.g. leo-j trying to include sales from three different weeks as "week one").

The Legs will be what counts.

This is it. It has done well enough so far, but the hard part has yet to come. The opening has shown it should easily reach 2mil, but if people are expecting more, we'll have to wait...

 

@Leo-J: Most games don't have full first weeks. Like Sulla said, seems you're trying to spin the numbers... just let it be.



@sulla

3 different weeks

there's only been 2 weeks & one of them wasn't even a week...lol

EDIT: oh I see what Leo-J trying to do.....sorry



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

it's good.

that almost  what gears 1 did and it sold over 5 million ww

 

i expect LBP to do higher numbers in EU, in america many probably get Resistance 2 first.

SOCOM is probablly at about 255-265k with downloads. (I say dl would be about 5-10% of disc sales) Not bad for an online only game.

UT3 Ps3 - 530k
UT3 360 - 360k
Warhawk - 460k (Probablly 480-500k with downloads)
Shadow Run - 360k
SOCOM - 230k + about 10k for opening week in Japan. (I say about 35k in EU week1)


Burnout paradise had 20k downloads in a week so Socom and warhawk definitively have more

In terms of north american sales I think LBP could get lost in the shuffle with all the other big titles that are coming out. People only have so much money to spend and they may have decided to go for RES2 and fallout over LBP.

It could be a different picture for Europe though were Sony sales are stronger.

 

don't know what RES2 is.... but Fallout did as well as LBP. Don't see how it's a "decision choosing" thing, when everyone goes through the same decision process in every game purchase, and for that matter, every purchase.

Wow...everything you just said actaully made no sense at all.  What do you mean you don't know what RES2 (resistance 2) is???  Just because it isn't out yet doesn't mean people don't make the choice to pass on one purchse for a future purchase.

And yes people make choices about the purchases they make therefore choosing not to purchase LBP and instead choosing to purchase either fallout 3 or Res2...hence the lost in the shuffle comment, it happens.

Did you even have a point or were you just trolling?

 



lol at the damage conrol.

what about all the "bubu its week 0?" and "itll be a million seller week one"

I cant believe people thoguht this would outsell Fable 2, a proven franchise. PS3 fans gotta remember that the PS3 isnt as big nas they like it to be, meaning that its games wont sell as well.



2008 360 prediction: 26 million (thus surpassing XBOX lifetime sales in one year less time).

As long as there are 360 bashers, I will be there to do something about it.

weren't people predicting 5 times week 0 sales?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

No, it was more like 10 times.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

yes they were. Just goes to show ou internet hype is from a *******vocal minority******, people who do not even come close to determining how good a game will sell.

AT least when 360 gamers hype games like Fable 2 and Gears 2, we stay true to our promise and make sure it sells.
