Ooh, this one's really good when you look at weekly sales:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS®2=All&game2=®3=All&game3=&weeks=150&weekly=1

Its 136th week was its biggest week.  Those are legs and they're still growing.

That's indeed incredible!

 

 

I didn't realize... incredible indeed.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

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).

All games are bundled here, does that mean that no game has legs ?

 

LPB has had great legs.

 If you're talking about Wii Sports in NA and Europe, Kung Fu Panda and LBP in Europe, yes, we cannot speak about legs for those games. So, no LBP doesnt have great legs considering it's bundled and it is Christmas.

This thread is increasingly pathetic. Every one's running around saying the same two things: "LBP might not have great legs, it's simply the Christmas season" and "LBP has awesome legs! You haters juts can't see!"

It's both amusing and annoying at the same time. -_-;;

LBP is actually in the bargain bin in the UK now. Can get it for £14. So would expect next week sales to be good then it will vanish from the radar here.

If the bundle isn't mandatory with every console, but it's only one of a number of bundles and the console is also available unbundled, bundles help sales, but aren't their sole reason, so in such case we can still talk about legs even if the copies are bundled, because their purchase is anyway choosable, not enforced on unwilling buyers. But LBP is still young, I'd keep it under observation some more weeks before deciding.

Fuckin-A.

And if the system is available without the bundled game, then doesn't that strongly suggest that the people who bought the bundle actually wanted the game and would have bought it any way without the bundle? I mean, if they didn't want the game, then wouldn't they have just bought the system that didn't include it?

No, because the game is free and it's the same price than a PS3 which doesnt come with a bundled game. Plus, a lot of consumers doesnt have choice.

The Metal Gear map pack seems to be extremely popular too.
