This is rediculous. It's funny to me how people are screaming how sony fans spin everything and are trying to cover their own asses when at least half of this thread is Xbox fans screaming how LBP is overtracked, a flop, and how wrong vgchartz is. I'll tell you right now, that the sony fans aren't the only ones throwing crap around in this thread. Xbox fans have already attacked this game every chance they've gotten and this thread would not have gotten to 13 pages without people on both sides fanning the flames of war. All I know is that when there was good evidence for games such as GeOW 1 and 2 being overtracked just a month or two ago a thread about that was dismissed quickly and ended at a page or two and just look at this. It's epic failure on both sides. Sickening. Shut up all of you and just go play games, we are gamers! I think this has gone on long enough with obvious agendas on each side. Just wait for further information to be given and comment then.

 

Hmmm, maybe when people said "LBP will be HUGE" they meant like this. Just look at what this one game alone did to this site.

Also this may sound strange but I am actually enjoying myself in this thread. I am not getting heated or anything like that, I am actually having quite a bit of fun and learning some new stuff at the same time.

@Max King of the Wild

I think they do, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a set date yet.

I think so... either way, to me it's not a matter of what's right... but why people think something is right.

If you end up being right, but used a flawed method.... (Choosing to agree with one site.... out of many.) it's going to lead you to keep making wrong assumptions.

The methods people use to come up with their conculsions are the problem.

It's not really a matter of throwing VGchartz under a bus as Ioi... or i guess i should say Brett himself will tell you the Software numbers are a work in progress.

Really, that 1.3 figure seems very unbelievable if it's accurate. Sony always gives us shipped numbers, and given the amount of copies of LBP we have at my store, as well as the stores around me, I wouldn't be surprised if there are ~200-300k just sitting on shelves.

Even if there was only ~100k sitting on shelves, that would still lower the sold to consumers number down to 1.2 million. Chart Track has the UK numbers alone at over 1/4th that.

I find it hard to believe that Chart Track, Famitsu, Media Create, VG Chartz, etc. all massively under tracked this game. Either the figure is old, which would also explain why Kaz's figures for PSP/PS3 sales are off as Euphoria pointed out, or Kaz was misquoted or had a slip of the tongue, as DMeisterJ and SSJ12 claim.

guys they misquoted. i just called sony's pr department in the usa. he said playing online. his speech was about the psn. what would sold copies have anything to do about the psn since it isnt sold on the ps store like warhawk and socom. 1.3m users online. end of story. vgc did not overtrack.

Let me get the number.

 

 

He does have such contacts through his work with VGChartz.

However, he does occasionally use said contacts as "proof" for false claims.

Ya, I've stopped using the non-internal sources for references...

My info is from one of the PR Managers, its trustworthy as every bit of data I have received from her up till now has been 100% accurate and useful.

Well that's good to hear.  :)
