Forums - Sony Discussion - LBP deserves more sales than Gears 2 and Fable 2 combined

If LBP shows the legs most say it deserves, Sony should readvertise it once they do the long awaited price cut and/or PS3 Slim launch.
BTW MS is heavily advertising XB360 in Italy with those appalling open head geeks commercials, shouldn't PS3 price be still so high compared to italian low and middle classes wages, Sony would eat MS for breakfast, with their lame ads. But 399€ is 1/2 of call centers employees' or other underpaid and far too common jobs typical for young people net wage, still too much just for what it should be one of consoles main targets besides kids.

No game deserves anything. It either gets sales or it doesn't...



NOt everyone has a PS3 unfortunately.

yea yea i can name hundreds of games that deserve better sales than gears 2 and fable 2 but i'm not gonna make a thread about it.

 

They're not bad games (not Gears, anyway) but it fucking kills me to see hyped sequels getting piles of sales while something new, different and insanely fun doesn't make the same numbers.

That's the industry, though, I suppose.

No, you're right gears and fable are good games, but this industry isn't that new.  There are tons of games that deserved better sales.

 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

No. LBP doesn't deserve those kind of sales imo.

Okami does. Screw the PS2/Wii transit, this game deserves the best, simply one of a kind genius game.

All those who hadn't played it....you have missed so much.



Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?

Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.

You are right.....about the "should be played by everyone regardless of console affiliation" the game is a amazing. I dont agree with the thread title though (IMO). Both Gears 2 and Fable 2 are amazing as well, and are completely different types of games, deserving of completely different types of sales.

 

nothin to add except "+1"



Define deserves.

LBP does, it's awesome

 

Okami too was gorgeous

 

Same for Ico and Psychonauts, and probably many other great games that did not succeed as good as they deserved to



Don`t worry, LBP LTD sales will be over 10 mln. by the time of PS4 release.
