Forums - Sony - Kaz says Little Big Planet sold 1.3 million-- oh noes! Did I win my bet?

So we're done throwing VGC under the bus now at the first sign of being incorrect?

Like I said earlier, the 1.3 million players means nothing to sales, since it's inconclusive. There are lots of variables. If you have a PSN account, and you borrowed, stole, or bought a used copy of a game, you count as a unique user. On the other hand, if you bought the game, and don't have a PSN account, or internet access, then you don't count.

So, the 1.3 million number means absolutely nothing to the number of units sold, like I said explicitly earlier in the thread.

It's a shame that VGC had to get thrown under the bus, so the LittleBigAgenda could keep on going in the community. Like I said before, people will never accept that LBP is a success. Look at how people like Maynard tool were frothing at the mouth to post how it was overtracked, and got pwned. It's really a sad day that we can't be happy that a game is doing good. I feel very sad for the people that won't accept it.

You also said that you were done with this thread. What happened?

Oh, and its hysterical that you act like other people are trying to sway the numbers. Weren't you the one who refused to believe that LBP was being bundled in Europe?

The hell.  Please before you post accusations, make sure that you can back them up.  I've been a pretty strong supporter of LBP bundles padding sales in the East.  Don't fail.

I was done with the thread, but when I was vindicated, I needed to make a statement, and prove people wrong.

Well then stop bitching about lame points on the internet and go out and work or get laid. Time's ticking, carpe diem and tempus fugit

The topic had almost - so very almost - slid off of my "Forum Posts" quick list. Then you had to say something ridiculous twice in a row. I was just going to ignore the first one!

Yes, I was apparently wrong here - I'm nont going to apologize for being wrong, however, because my reasons for assuming what I did were sound (Gamespot edited their blog, Kotaku reported after the fact, what have you). That my sources turned out incorrect is incidental to the spirit of the argument I was making, which was still sound.

I'll admit that there's apparently some bias against the title running around here, but it's unfair to the point of outrageousness to unfairly characterize everyone who took the reports of Hirai's statements at face value as some kind of LBP basher. That's ridiculous. VGChartz wasn't getting thrown under the bus - Brett's estimates have been off-base before. It's just the reality of the business. Yes, it was pretty large insofar as that goes, but in a holiday month it was well within the realm of possibility.

There's a fine line between being right, between saying that you are right, and in one moment rubbing everyone's faces in your correctness and in the other decrying everyone but you as some kind of rabid hater.

Uncool, man. Dreadfully uncool.

@ DMJ - LBP defense force extraordinaire still at it! You gotta love em!

OT: seems the kitty may have been right (regardless of how he came to be right...). I saw a french web site stating the LBP sold 1.3 million so Kaz (or Sony) should really try and clarify this (though do they really care? 1.3 million is still pretty good) cause the majority of sites seem to be going with the "sold" version as opposed to the "played" version.

And finally, want to say thanks to all the posters in this thread. Reading through it all was very entertaining. Keep up the good work!



Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

I have other things to do also.  Not getting laid though, but I definitely don't devote my whole life to the site.  As I said before, don't fail.

@ Khuutra

Meh, I suppose you're correct.
