Forums - Sony - How much did LBP help sell the Dualshock 3

The plural of SIXAXIS should probably be SIXAXES... but on to more relevent points:

The main motivator for me to get more DS 3s (now have 3 DS3s and 2 SIXAXES) was PES, and then I got my 5th controller when we got a second PS3 just for BD playback

Well, I got my DS3's long before LBP came out. I believe I got one right when they were released, and then one for my birthday in June. And, since my friends all got PS3's for Christmas, but with no LBP, I can't say they got one for LBP either.

^^ I agree with Killzone 2 also being a prime motivator for Dualshock 2 sales.

 

You mean Dualshock 3 rite? Anyways I believe that it helped play a role in the DS3 sales quite a bit. Though I'm unsure how many bundles were sold

@Munkeh

SIXAXI could be a good one but it is a shame to lose such a nice Palindrome...



My girlfriend made me go out and buy her a new DS3 after I made her try LBP. Then she went back out a week later and bought 2 controllers so she can play with her friends. She doesn't play with me anymore cause she says I'm too good but truth is she isn't that great. :P

I now have 4 controllers even though I mostly play online or RPG's lol.



FootballFan - "GT has never been bigger than Halo. Now do a comparison between the two attach ratios and watch GT get stomped by Halo. Reach will sell 5 million more than GT5. Quote me on it."

I bought two more because of LBP. I don't see any other game that would cause me to have more than 2 controllers total. I'd say the game was probably responsible for selling at least half a million controllers.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

I believe shooters helped the DS3 like KZ2 and the one and only MGS4!!

To be honest with you When LBP came out the DS3 

was the only controller available.  I should have named the thread

How much did LBP help sell extra controllers?

 

I think that LBP was a "controller seller" because of the awesome  4 player co-op.

Dualshock 3 by default.
