440k first week

1.3m lifetime

 

 

This game has more hype than LBP and look where it's at.

 

Resistance 2 is a highly anticipated sequel to one of the highest quality and best selling PS3 games on the market and was released during the peak game buying season with a massive marketing campaign and (after 10 weeks on the market) has just passed 1.3 Million ...

 

 

Resistance 2 did Not have a Massive Marketing Campaign, And the original only sold well because their was not much else to play. Resistance is very Mediocre IMO, And saying Resistance was one of the highest quality games on PS3 is an Insult to MGS4,Uncharted, LBP Tekken 5 DR, Ratchet and clank, WipeoutHD even Heavenly Sword . Plus countless Multiplats like COD, Bioshock, PoP

 

Maybe Sony was specifically targeting me with their ad-campaign, but I recall seeing as many Resistance 2 tv commercials as I saw Gears of War commercials when it was released.

Besides that, I do find it entertaining that the belief that the PS3 will see higher and higher sales in the future changes people's opinion of games that have been released over time. Games that were once major reasons why someone should buy a PS3 instead of an XBox 360 or Wii suddenly become "Very Mediocre"

Silly people, we all know with LBP approx 20-30% (as it is from EU) are from bundles, and it was in the holidays season.

Please, for the love of god, do not expect more than 600K as you are in for a major disappointment.

 

Please back up your comments with something tangiable , your trying to say 300k PS3's were bundled with LBP in the EU . I live in the EU and haven't seen any mass bundling of the sort.

im basing this on the store where i bought by LBP bundle from (2 weeks back), they sold 40 ps3's this holiday season, and 12 of them were the lbp bundled ones

So..only anecdotal I'm afraid.

I see you haven't bothered to reply to my arguably better response than the one your replying to now . But the bolded could be true of any console , that's not exclusive to the PS3.
