I'm going out on a limb here.. despite my overwhelming love for LittleBigPlanet, I believe it's going to be a tremendous flop.

I see week one sales of 30k, and lifetime sales of around 250k. Several factors will attribute to this flop:

1.) Overwhelming PSP piracy.

2.) It's a downgrade from another game (we all know what happens to downgrades.. see all sports games, Gran Turismo PSP - compared with console versions, and Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars).

3.) The game doesn't suit the PSP market, which is primarily multiplayer gamers (the game doesn't have multiplayer anymore).

Sad.. I wish they didn't have to make this thing..

Yeah, pretty much everything about this game is a gigantic question mark - Particularly the omission of multiplayer.

I can't see it doing very well, I'll be shocked if it exceeds 500k lifetime

LTD
sad for the game....but oh well

FLOP.


That is all.

I did not know about the "missing" multiply part, with that said it will be north of 250,000 store purchases and 100,000 DL purchases for a total of 350,000 LTD. Piracy will be the one factor that will not allow this game to see the heights of sales of other games like God of War, Dissidia, Crisis Core, and both Grand theft autos (minus CTW).

I'm not sure it suits PSP, but I'll get it just 'cause I love LBP so much. I think it'll sell okay'ish but nothing amazing.

I think it will do a bit better than that I think it will do about 50k first week (i guess this is worldwide?) and about 400k ltd.

600k darth? seems like wishful thinking..

It's strange when you refer to piracy as the only reason, and only affecting certain titles and not those you mentioned. Are God of War, Dissidia, Crisis Core, and the earlier GTAs not affected by piracy? Of course they are. I mention piracy as a big factor, but it's not the only thing. Otherwise, Crisis Core would not have sold 2 million.

No numbers, just a flop. It IS PSP after all.
