Spin it into negativity? How can you spin it into anything else? It's all Wii hate, it's easy to tell even without the capslock (which stresses the point even more).

Of course, I can't entirely blame you here since this thread is just flamebait. Starting with "Do you __ fanboys" is always bad news. The thread is just waiting to be locked...

Worse part is, stof came in, but didn't use his lockhammer yet. :(

How do you explain the other 16,000,000+ Non buyers?

This title has done very well for a new IP. The only reason it has done so poor in peoples eyes is because of all the hype behind it. I don't blame sony one bit .. I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) that they never proclaimed its the second coming. PS3 fanboys and their stupid predicitons ...

If this can sell 2.5 mill in its lifetime thats an achievement in itself and LBP2 will do much greater in sales.

Motorstorm and Ressitance were too close to launch to use as indicators if you ask me.

Uncharted maybe, the real question will be how the legs hold out... some genres legs are good.  Others then just fade right away.  Platformers... are really unknown since the only true platformers that tend to be Mario ones.

2-D platformers... what that only leaves Super Paper Mario and Warioland to do analysis with?

I think we'd need a month more of data before analysis.

I can't honestly believe that you wanted a discussion with your wording so much as you just wanted to rub the sales of LBP into people's faces. Which is a dick move and has lowered my opinion on you in general.

Really?  Because to me I can totally believe it... it seems right up his general alley.  Still to me having reasonable conversations and ignoring the dick move is the best course of action.

So only "Sony fanboys" can answer?

You're probably right, though I always feel that if you don't rub their nose in it then they'll never change, not that it necessitates they will.

On this being right up Fernando's alley.....well I try to remain optimistic about people until they prove me wrong repetitively, he just hasn't done it quite enough yet.

OT: I don't think LBP was a failure, and there's a chance it could make it to 2 or 3 million in it's lifetime, which was what I always predicted anyway, so that would be nice.  LBP was an experiment as far as console gaming goes, and I'm happy that they made an extremely quality game, even if it didn't sell as well as some hoped.

Oh come on, rumors point to a PSP version, is the PSP on a similar level with the PS3???

LBP could work on the Wii even with similar graphics, level desing and physics like Lost Wind it would sold decently, yes, the PS3 offers more technicall features, but it doesn´t offer the demographics for the game...

And about an innovative game on the Wii, you can try with Wii-fit, o Wii sports (Japan only), innovation is not only "making up levels"...

Yeah I wouldn't call it a failure.  Only way it lost money was if Sony spent to much on all that crazy advertising they did for it.

A lot of it seemed like goofy "ground/guerrilla" marketing that might of been fairly cost effective though.

How many people buy it isn't nearly as important as how many people are still going to play it a year from now.  Since this is the kind of game that needs a healthy user community.

Those peole likely to stick around are likely the first people to buy this sort of game anwyay.
