Well damn... what great lengths some haters will go through to dis credit a game with very solid sales. I see playing sceptic only comes on the board when we're talking about PS3 games.

the manipulation of arguements and overuse of the bundle example feels quite distastefull.

similiar showings are going in the recent WKC sales threads when suddenly 1oo~132.ooo first day "TRANSLATE" into something bad lol.

Ok let me explain something really simple. Wii Music did better sales than LBP (WITHOUT BUNDLES) week after week and there's no one who start a thread praising its legs. Now LBP is doing decent numbers (wonder why...lol) and all the PS3 fanboys are going crazy about it.

You do know WHY people were talking down the Wii music sales. Generally Wii music was poorly recieved and it basically doesnt deserve to sell, and thats coming from a guy who loves Wii Fit & Wii Sports. Its got legs, but fucking undeserved ones, its riding on the back of the Wii Sports, Wii play & Wii fit wave.

And please drop the flawed implication that PS3 games cant sell unless they're bundled (: (wonder why...lol) ). It feels like major grasping for straws, if you take a look at WW million sellers section. Youre welcome to downplay it, but that section speaks for itself.

It feels utter desperation for control, when you atempt to set some sort of lecture in this scenario.

FYI, as Im concerned Im pretty sure the LBP bundle is only present in EU & JP.  Attaining within-reach 100.ooo numbers in the US territory for a game on a non-dominant console is pretty solid. Despite it being the week/month with more traffic/sales, its something that has to be granted some respect.

Its bundled in Others but not in NA, where its been selling very well as well

Bundled with hardware in Japan too

And it's selling crap in Japan.  2k this week.  Bundles didn't help at all over there.

New IP on 19mil install base.

vs.

Game with 'Wii' in the title (benefits from connection with the other popular titles in the range, a la 'Play' and 'Sport, etc) and 'Music' in the title (benefits from connection with mainstream gaming, a la Guitar Hero and Singstar, etc) on 44mil install base.

Nice comparison.

To be honest, you just sound like a broken record; all your posts act like every copy of LBP ever sold was stapled to the side of a PS3.

I don't like Wii Music either but you know what it sells a lot more than LBP and every sales on this site is deserved, particularly when its unbundled.

As for PS3 there is a lot of games which sell better or as much where its non-bundled (CoD:WaW, Madden NFL 09, GH:WT) and no one is starting a thread on that and the reason seems simple to understand : those games are multiplat and sells better on X360 or Wii.  

Now you can say what you want but take a look at the first 10 pages of this thread and you will see that 'im not the only one who is really tired of people praising the ''legs'' of this game when it doesnt fit with the real concept of legs. Otherwise, let's start to create threads about how good are the legs of Kung Fu Panda.

Amusing how it is the Wii crowd that seem to have a big issue with LBP..

 

 Also amusing how PS3 crowd like to exaggerate LBP success.

 

I'm not sure that anyone is. It's selling steadily though, and you clearly have some beef with that.

LOL I'm just tired of people who make so many threads about how good are the legs of LBP when we all know the game is BUNDLED and that every single game got a boost in its sales because of Christma time. In fact I think that the PS3 crowd is so desperate that they will praise massively anything that may give themselves hope. 

 


Just checked the top pages of Sales and Sony and not a single thread about LBP's legs, apart from this one..

Keep reaching. The first thread there relates to a bet, and the last one claims the game isn't selling! Only the third link remotely fits the description, and it hit a mil a while back. Give up already.

 I don't have time to lost. If you want to believe there wasnt so many threads on that topic, that's fine, keep living in your delusion.

Funny how you put a discounted game with a Wii Remote and the thing is one of the biggest selling console games ever
Put one of the best PS3 games from their library with a Dual Shock and they can barely sell any of them

Clearly Wii Play is better than LBP



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
