1 million in five weeks.

/thread.

Did it still?

I mean... NPD says VGchartz was over in the US.


The first 5 weeks appear to be at 356K for the US according to NPD

VS our 44,7807.

Would put us a little over 9K over. 

Which would mean LBP would be actually a little under a million currently.

 

Ignoring Canada and Mexico? (Does NPD track bundles?)

Bundles no.  Though were there even LBP bundles in NA?

Good point about Canada.  Not really mexico though. 

PS3 is proportionally less strong in Canada and espiecially mexico though.

So it'd still be a lot more likely that LBP didn't reach the Mil till week 6.

 

 

If we add 10% of NPD to the NPD figures for USA only, that gives 390K. Which puts VGC 50K over. It still reached 1M 5 weeks after the NA release. 

Plus it has only been released in Europe for 4 weeks...

I think it's funny Kasz216 and dolemit3 stated different staff sizes. ;)


Like a I said before, LBP isn't a complete flop, but it is a major disappointment.



If LBP didn't sell as many copies as there are PS3's out there, it's not getting the sales it deserves.



1 million in 5 weeks is good but that is with the help of others and japan. The sales are steady enough to get a million but no where they should be or where people claimed they would be.

The sales of LBP in the Americas is pathetic and that is what this thread was about.

 LBP will reach 1mil in US alone sales are fine.

Most people stated LBP will get 2-3million with a good amount saying 4million. Hardly anyone (except 360 and wii fanboys who dont know about this game) said higher than that. Hell! Just as many people said LBP wouldn't do over a million who said it would do over 4 million(see sig).

LBP is doing just fine

Obviously it will eventually hit 1 mil in the U.S. it just should have gotten there a lot faster than the pace it is currently on. Sony was expecting this games to sell a lot better and while it is not a flop and will probably hit around Drakes Fortune sales they were hoping this would be the game that would really boost PS3 sales and sell like hot cakes. It is selling like lukewarm cakes.

 

It is selling well, but not nearly well as it should be or as well as it was expected to.

I hope you will eat your words and if you are not a major hateboy you will hope so aswell, for superb games should sell superbly.



yes it's flopped, although it reached 1million in 6 weeks.
that's mainly cos' it released during Xmas season, the sales r rocked high at the moment.

and don't forget even games like kongfu panda on xbox is outselling it at the moment.... :P

I own the game, and we're just talking sales.   Please stop using annoying fanboy terms like "hateboy".
