Recently, I saw a lot of surprising comments about how good were LBP legs and I though it was a good opportunity to finally define exactly what is the real definition of good legs.

Can we affirm that a bundled game like Wii Sport, Kung Fu Panda or LBP have good legs? Can we talk about good legs when a game is selling good numbers during the peak period of Christmas time? Can we speak of legs 3-4 weeks only after a game's release?

What do you think can be considered a game with good legs?

IMO a game with good legs is an unbundled game which can remain in the Top 50 after at least 13 weeks (3 months) and a game with great legs is the one remaining in the Top 50 after at least 26 weeks (6 months).

 

Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, CoD4 last year, these are games with legs. The rest is make believe to make themselves feel better. "legs" are questionalbe on heavily bundled and discounted games.



You could say uncharted has great legs, but its recent boost is due to a bundle i believe



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Durrr, it's Christmas time so sales are up! But that doesn't apply to Others, that was because of the bundle.

* Holiday boost - applies to all games, but especially kiddie & family oriented titles

* Many PS3's are sold with LBP bundled

lbp serves as an incentive to selll the bundle there arre many other un-official bundles which offer new games also , so it's not like the game is being forced.

* LPB already on a sale - many VGC members have reported it's sold at budget price in many European countries (and NA?). Not in Sweden though.

every new title is beingsoold  at budget price in the Eu why people are singling out lbp is beyond me.
