Forums - Sales Discussion - "LBP Will be HUGE"...

Godot on 11 November 2008

Way to spin that. LBP is not huge and never was supposed to be. LBP is a great game with pretty good sales.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

Sorry but again i dont buy it.

With the amount of millions Sony spent on advertising this game, the amount of publicity it has on tv, the amount of good positive reviews and word of mouth and so on to sell 600k from 16m consoles is not "huge". It is good but not as good as you try and make it out to be. The numbers will decrease now so for it to get to 1m by the end of the year i will think would be its target. "Huge" is something selling like 3.5m in a week etc..

In terms of the game world and previous numbers LBP should of sold much much more with the level of support it had.
So from now on any game that has sold 500k-600k in 1 week worldwide = huge?....

 

 I reccomend you read Zucas' post. Also LBP already probablly made profit. Also how many other games debut with similiar numbers? Hardly any. You are just trying to downplay these numbers because of other HUGER titles like MGS4 or Geow2

That's eliminating practically every game, no?

L4D will be huge-er :P

Well it's still certainly huge in comparison to what you were predicting it would sell way back in January.

Also from the same thread speaking of LittleBigPlanet:

How wrong can you be...?

@hryuken

so Wii SPorts, Wii Fit, Pokemon R,B,G,Y,S....., Halo 2, GTA 3 and so on aren't huge

LBP will become huge by legs.

@PSRock

DMeisterJ isn't an attention whore.....HE started it.....HE is clarifying what it meant....HE is making some sense.....

people still want to believe otherwise go ahead....but all I know is 670K Week 1 sales is 3rd Best in PS3 Week 1 list....now that is impressive

@Twetsterm

 Does that surprise you that someone perdicted low sales and no one focused on them only the high ones after my thread?



psrock on 11 November 2008

The truth is people predicted huge sales and low sales. And those with common sense predicted good sales.

Man, how bored were you to go back to one of my posts all the back from January?

Also, awesome that I was about right I guess.

@twesterm

no you were wrong.....you said 600K LTD because of the last sentence saying "oh it won't make the money"
