That wasn't what they were all saying before. LBP was supposed to be huge (and no, people weren't saying that tongue in cheek at the time). I honestly thought it would have done a lot better myself (deservedly so) and do agree with Leo-'s post above that the stalled launch affected sales to some extent. I cannot be bothered to trawl through all the old threads to highlight them. However, here is one of the recent threads, where Leo-J still said he expected LBP to do better in others than GeoW2. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=47893&start=0   LBP to outsell GeoW2? Whoever seriously thought that day one, that would happen needs their head checked. As a matter of fact, How is it wrong to compare a new IP to a million seller franchise? LBP is HUGE, and it did awesome for the first week sales, and it's an AWESOME game hands down, no one can ever say it's not without legit reasons. Just because LBP didn't meet fanboy's expectation's doesn't mean the game won't have legs, that's why its HUGE sir. Just looking through some of your previous posts, you look like a Sony fanboy yourself.  When Squilliam mentioned that Fable2 pre-orders in NZ were beating LBP you were quite disparaging about Fable 2's chances of beating LBP.   Face it: LBP only did borderline OK for first week sales considering the hype.  It is not HUGE, or 'MASSIVE!' as you said in one of your other posts.  It's a good game but sales aren't living up to the hype or expectations. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=44696 Smashed said: None of those games will be system sellers, rather then LBP that is. Why? Cuz it's huge. Nuff said http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=40&id=42697 Smashed said: Pfft, Fable 2 is a joke. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=42691 Smashed said: LBP will be huge http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=10&id=39190 Smashed said: CDiablo said: Its going to be really hard to convince the masses to drop $450 just because sackboy is "cute" and the game looks "fun." I really dont think this will get the casuals buying it, only due to price. Im pretty sure one 360 bundle had Viva Pinata, and did not really do much to sales.    The game isn't about sackboy being cute, Why wouldn't people a buy a game that's fun? That makes no sence at all, The game is about creativity, and this is the only game that gives you loads and loads of features, i don't see why it won't appeal to casuals.

Hahahahaha!!! Pawned!

Dude, you did a great job there!

Apparently 30% of VGChartz readers thought that LBP would be the biggest seller. Are you saying that 30% of VGChartz readers need their head checked?

Usually when a battle occurs, it's not over before it starts. Seriously why compare a likely 8 mill LT game to a 2.5 mill LT game. Isnt this thread really silly.

Never a doubt for me, as 360 sells more games than ps3 does normally...but I didn't expect Gears 2 to CRUSH LBP like it did in others...just an absolute drubbing. I think the magnitude HAS to come as a surprise to ps3 supporters that Gears 2 so far outclasses LBP...even Fable just put a beating on it...along with Fallout 3...LBP is coming only with Saints Row 2 for crying out loud.

 LOLZ! BAHAHAHA!!!!! You are telling me an anonymous poll where anyone can vote(not just for members) is a measuring tool for stupidity? Hell before the polls were reset MGS4 had only like 10% of "What will be the best selling game in 2008" of votes. Before it got taken down (just recently) it had over 30% and was rising!!!!!!!!!!!(and at that time it was obvious it wasn't)  

You don't think people fuck with these things? (especially since someone can vot numerous times)

So would you prefer a comparison between two new IP’s such as LBP and Gears1?

To include all sales up to week 3 is 673K for little LBP against 1.5Million for Gears1!

http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Gears+of+War+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=LittleBigPlanet+-+PS3&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=4

2-3 week comparison is fair I think as it takes into account LBP week 0! sales and that Gears1 also had a few days between its release in US and EU about 3 weeks before release in Australia and no sales from Japan!

Then if you consider that the user base when Gears1 released was around 5 million XBox360’s compared to around 16.5 million PS3’s when LBP released, by your logic is LBP a complete disaster!?  Even for a new IP!

LBP was not a disaster it was simply hyped far too much and had very little chance of fulfilling the ridiculous sales expectations posted by fanboys in the build up to its release.

VS

Anyways... We also know shooters sell more and Gears1 was HUGE ad campaign (Yes bigger than LBP) AND on top of that Gears was the first must have game on the 360. Gears had no competition

Also Notice how LBP sales pass Gears in sales in 2 regions with the third one being AMERICA who generally purchase shooters more and favor the 360.

(and for the LBP hype bull shit read the sig)

Glad you agree Max!!
