Since LBP has failed to be a sytem seller, we could not call this game a "success" Don't forget that this game was supposed to be the big Sony Game of the year.

@fabinou
some games sell systems throughout a system's whole life
maybe 1K extra WW a week or something.....such a system seller won't really be noticed but in reality it will have sold many many systems throughout the PS3's life
your not going to see LBP come out then syddenly 50K more PS3's sold a week
no no...
All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

As sad as this might sound, it was the biggest Sony game last year...
Anyhoo, we're looking at 3-4 million lifetime here, and that's as much as any realistic person ever expected of it.
@okeydokey
thats debatable.....some would say the sequel to a 3 Million selling game was -- Resistance 2
~I felt it was Motorstorm 2 as motorstorm had sold near 3.7 million
but LBP has become SONY's highest rated game ever....so I don't see them loosing sleep over it

How is it debatable? LBP sold more than both R2 and Motorstorm 2.
Are you all telling you had ridiculously high expectations and that LBP failed only because you expected more? I don't exactly know what could be called a failure but this is pretty much going just as I though.
@okeydokey
well it did but originally.....n theoretically R2 & MS2 should be past 2 Million right now

as for LBP's success.....
SERIOUSLY.....are some people here saying its not successfuly because a few SONY fanboys on vg chartz said it would be "huge"
seriously....is that your basis for judging the game's success?
All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
It definitely was a success, just some people were implying that sales would be off the wall >.> (cough Gearbox 10 million cough cough).
besides LBP is probably going to be the most profitable PS3 game barring GT5 + GT5 PRologue combined
MGS4 DLC has raniing of upto 100K
so 100K people got the $6 MGS Level pack......LBP has got to be making money...it was made by what 20 people
All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

They expected it to sell GT5P levels. It could exceed that.
How much do you think it cost to make? Look at it!
They did advertise it a fair bit...
I would say it's a success, and it's made a fair bit of profit. They've made what, $45 million off it in revenue?
