this is one of those games that will see a good boost when the console price is dropped (especially when some of the Nintendo fans buy the console when it has dropped in the price).

You wish, but Nintendo fans will all graduate to the 360 according to Greenberg.

it's not a wish, it's reality...my syster is dying to play this game she would have got the PS3 if it wasn't for me putting the cash down to get it my self, and she's owned nothing but nintendo consoles, and she's not the only person I've seen, there's others. 

COOL, 10 mln. ptretty much confirmed for the game, when PS3 reach 199-249$ price. :) 

lool,,,,you were joking right?

You can laugh as much as you want, that won`t change LBP future success. =)
THIS game is AA, it will continue to sell a lot,
in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and maybe even later. =)

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

Allot of games aren’t seen as a success even though they are great. LBP deserves better sales but so does allot of other games but they don’t sell no mater how grate they are. That’s how it is and that’s how it always will be and no one can do anything about it so just live with it!

LBP is doing fine. Especially considering the type of game it is relative to it's platform. The problem is that certain fanboys expected the game to be the second coming of Super Mario Bros. 3 in sales and it when it didn't hit those kind of numbers it gave detractors all the quotables they needed.

People are always wondering why there is so much "PS3 hate". It simple really. You have posters like Crazzyman posting off the wall nonsense that defies all common sense. The arrogance baton was picked up from Sony's PR by overzealous fanboys and that has fostered the level of contempt the PS3 receives.

 Yeah but anyone who takes crazzrman seriously and actually tries to quote him and use it as proof something didn't live up to expectations just makes themselves look like idiots.

YES, they WILL.
After LBP reach 5 mln. atleast. =)

GREAT PS3 AA GAMES always have GOOD legs, see Uncharted(over 2 mln.), HS(around 1,5 mln.), MGS4(around 4 mln.).

Your logic is flawed. LBP is a AAA game so it can't be compared to the AA games you mentioned.

1.5 million after a year is hardly something to be proud of, although MGS4 and Uncharted still have very strong sales. MGS4 and Uncharted are both, IMO, superior to LBP, but LBP is better than Heavenly Sword.

Some people here are BLIND or HATERS. :)

@Kantor, yeah sure, so many games pass 1,5 mln. in 1 year. =))
Not to mention, that HS selling better then DMC4, NG2. 8)

No matter how good the game does commercially (1.3 million sold in 8 weeks), or Critically (metacritic if 95) the game will never be seen as a success.  It's a shame too, since the game is so freaking awesome.  

I could see this being said by someone else, but you? Really? If anyone is to blame for the forum members here not seeing the game as a success, it's you and your "LBP will be huge" campaign. It spread like wildfire to other Sony fans to the point of oversaturation. It ceased to be cute and stuck around more as an annoyance like the old "I'm Rick James bitch!" joke. On top of that, the Sony forum got flooded with LBP topics starting in late September to where a good one third to half the topics on the first page where all about Little Big Planet. Coupled in with the loudest Sony members being the ones making the most ridiculous predictions (Gearbox, leo-j, Crazzyman) and it's pretty easy to see how forum members got the impression this was supposed to be bigger than it turned out to be. Why not take this as a lesson that the next game every fan wants to proclaim as this huge thing to make sure it's a sure thing in the making.

"We'd rather look at this game as not a success, and continue playing Generic Shooter A, Madden 2020, and Traditional turned based JRPG 1,922,498, instead of praising a new IP for doing something different and what some would call innovative."

I find this sentence especially humorous, considering that the general concensus of Sony fans on here see MGS4 as GOTY and not LBP. I guess it wasn't innovative enough for Sony fans either to be wanted over "generic stealth game"? (Note, I don't think MGS4 is a generic game, that's why it's in quotes.)
