I said before it launched LBP will be remembered as the game that should've been on Wii. The PS3 is a FPS/Sport/Racer/Action crowd with few exceptions. This generation PS's more-or-less traded places with the Xbox (the 'Shooter console') of last generation.

No disrespect for LBP, I'm sure it's great, just on the wrong system for strong sales.

 

 and have terrible phsyics, terrible visuals, extreemly limited creating components, not to mention very bad intergration with nintendo's online system.

Oh come on Leo-J, Boom Blox, Force Unleashed and a slew of other games had great physics on Wii, While textures wouldn't be as sharp on Wii granted, it'd otherwise look the same.  Creating components have nothing at all to do with processing power and as for those last two points, GHWT allows Wii users to create and share their own music creations to the world at large, so while there may be some kernal of truth to that last point everything here is way exaggerated.   Fact is lower res and physics wouldn't really change the game at all.  No reason this couldn't be on Wii.  May not be quite as great or robust as the PS3 version but it'd be damn near close enough.

LBP is perfect on the PS3, the playstation brand is known to be very friendly with all genre's, the PS3 isnt an exception, just because its 400 dollars and the casuals cant jump on to the PS3 bandwagon, doesnt mean they wont when its 300.

PS2 without question was seen as friendly to all genre's.  But you're only kidding yourself if you think the PS3 is the PS2.  Sony made a huge error in it's first year's line-up and console design making a direct assualt on the 360's userbase while ignoring their more casual base (which Nintendo capitalized on).  LBP can't reverse the clock nor alone bring that market back.  The fact that other games that cater to that same market (Crash Bandicoot, Destroy All Humans) ignore the PS3 doesn't help.  Platformer fans are simply better served by Wii or 360.

Can you tell me an innovative game that has sold on the wii? That isnt casual trash?

Wii Fit? 

Now I'm not saying LBP won't sell.  Sure it will.  It deserves too.  I'm saying it'd have had even higher sales if it was a Nintendo game instead of Sony game because the Wii's userbase and Nintendo fanboys especially would be more inclined to buy it.  Especially if given the level of hype and marketing LBP recieved.

$2-3 mil dollars? I kinda doubt that considering the graphics, physics, gameplay, online, etc. would take more than that. $2-$3 mil is like a low quality Wii game. LBP should've costed more than $2-$3 mil.

LBP has a lot of shortcuts for what it is.  So it wouldn't surprise me honestly.

Yeap, its practically a level editor, they just put some ideas as scenarios and bang, let the community keep the game going and going...



By me:

Made with Blender + LuxRender
"Since you can´t understand ... there is no point to taking you seriously."

Well it's not HUGE like one member shouted for months.. >_>
It's quite big.. could be bigger imo.. but HUGE?? Maybe.. but that depends when there will be a LBP2..

(HUGE for me is 5 million+)

Why do you have to make it such a flame bait thread? Do you sony fanboys... That's where anyone reasonable stops reading.

You blew a chance at reasonable discussion with the way you packaged this thread.

 

Yes he did.

I said "Sony fanboys" in the title because only fanboys predicted those unreal and impossible numbers.

Sony fans and people who actually make logic predictions didn't predict the sales that most "fanboys" predicted.

This game was suposed to be the biggest seller this holiday seasons according to a lot of people in this site. Heck, some guys even said that the Sackboy would be the new Mario and that this game was going to be the reason of the PS3 sales rise. And I'm not lying... you just need to read the previous threads here in this site.

There are also people that said the Wii would sell 750 million units.  And that Wii Fit would outsell the whole GTA franchise (sixty or so million), and things to that matter.  But no one brings up stupid predictions by stupid people, because it's stupid.

If you listen to the rational predictions and people, you will see that LBP is on track to meet expectations easily. 

If we made threads for all the outlandish predictions on this site, the forum would be full of threads like this that don't make too much sense.  We all know that stupid people will make stupid predictions, but we don't make threads about them because it is stupid to do that.

>_>

 

For the record I did say Wii Fit would outsell GTAIV combined sales(which looks likely to happen).  I don't think anyone, not even John Lucas said the entire GTA franchise.  I suppose it could happen... but even I would be shocked if it did.  But no one suggested that.

 



 

I think Fernando really really wants to play LBP.

The Hell.



I believe LBP's future is bright with around 3.5-5M lifetime. It's called bundling and advertising :S....



4 ≈ One

Well, i dont think the "sony fanboy" thing was necessary....

OT: well, yeah, LBP is not what people/sony were expecting. IT hasnt live up to the hype it surrounded the game before its release so far...... things can change but, despite the huge advertisement, the incredible amount of HYPE, and the bundles.... well, it failed. But things can change.
