people called LBP a flop cause some people said it would sell like 5 million its first week

people said madworld would sell like50-100k

but im sure it will continue to sell

People also said Madworld would sell 1m first week.

 

What people? I saw that one guy who made an outrageous bet that it would, I don't think anyone else in the entire world thought it'd sell 1 mil first week.

And the same isn't true of "people called LBP a flop cause some people said it would sell like 5 million its first week"?

 

 

 

No, it isn't. See my above post.

not people, person. A person said that, and that was a very silly person.

You think smart people were predicting over 5m for LBP? Every PS3 games gets held to these crazy peoples predictions, and it's damn annoying.

 

 

Hardly, but you're trying to make this the same situation when you could fairly often see crazy predictions for LBP (albeit possibly from crazy people), while MadWorld has only had one single person predict it's going to sell amazingly well. It's just not the same, because, like it or not, there were several people hyping LBP up like it was the second coming of Christ. I'm sure none of them were the sensible PS3-gamers, but gamers nonetheless.

I know, it was mostly a joke but I wanted to get my own point across.

Wrong console? Hey you got a Wii, buy it for the Wii if you want it because thats the only way your going to play it.

In the meantime this belief that turned BKNB and LBP into financial disasters is the same bullshit that prevents MW, etc from doing well on Wii.

I bet you Sony is more worried about not having a mainstream appealing game than Nintendo is about not having many core titles. But no one will admit that.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

No, it isn't. See my above post.

So direct me to these legions of people who actually expected LBP to sell 5 million in the first week.

Well, alright then. It seems we're seeing eye-to-eye, then. There will always be crazy predictions, and sometimes more than there should be. Nevertheless, LBP saw very healthy sales and MadWorld may yet do so as well. Anyone on this site should know how Wii games sell, since people have oh-so-often made this very mistake and then had to eat crow later.

KZ2 is a bigger flop, why? Because it cost as much as the total GDP of a small country and its only sold 1.5m, despite it being as core as a PS3 title can be.

First off, I didn't say legions. Second off, you think I saved those threads? I honestly can't be bothered to look up people for that. You'll have to take my word for it, or not. Your choice. But I'm not going to spend hours digging through 6 month old threads, sorry.

I wasn't talking about LBP. I honestly have no idea what it has to do with Madworld.

I'm just saying one crazy guy claimed that Madworld would sell 4 or 5 times what Sega was even going to ship.

 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
