I...-huh?

"New IP
In a declining genre
Technical excellence
Huge community (yes, still today)
Critical acclaim
3 m sold"

Since when platformesr have being in decline? Just see the sales of NSMB Wii, the demand is there, the problem is that companies are stupid not to do it, because they think 2D is a thing from the last century, or simply because they can't fully apreciate their baby like they want in 2D.

"lbp was a very good game, hopefully a sequel goes 3d all the way and adds more varied levels and allows u to make bigger and more varied levels to publish."

Now you are really asking it to flop, right? Being 2D is one of the motives of reaching 3 millions.

SAy what... i just said it has great sales, not every new IP hits 1 million, let it hit 3. But sony mentioned they wanted sackboy to be their mascot, they spent massive amounts of money in advertaisment.

I'm not trying to downplay the sales of this game, b/c they are great. But still, the game didn't have the impact sony was expecting. If you think I'm talking shit about LBP sales, well... w/e helps u sleep at night buddy.

We all agree it's not a flop but it is not selling to the level of the games you mention.

LBP is Doooooooooooomed!

/sarcasm

Oh hell, yeah I know that. The point I was trying to make was bundled or not, it's done well for itself and should not not be snubbed its accolades just because it was bundled. Would Halo3 have reached 10mil as quickly as it did if it wasn't bundled? same as Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports in their respective milestones. My thinking is No and that shouldn't matter because being bundled doesn't take away from an achievement, an achievement is an achievement regardless of how folks try to spin it.

Ah, I see. My apologies.

I also agree with this. The development was most likely cheap enough for the DLC alone to make them plenty of profit.

A solid middling hit

You've just repeated yourself; that's not helpful.

You qualify the "it has good sales" line each time with "but it hasn't met Sony's expectations".

So, I'm just asking you to tell me what Sony expected the game to sell. Telling me "they thought it could be the new PS mascot" isn't a sales figure and you can't extrapolate a sales figure from it either.

Therefore, give me a figure or stop posting that it has failed Sony's internal sales expectations.

Maybe you should just humor him and show how many copies or what kind of critical response Sony anticipated. I can't remember having read any exact figures anywhere so it'd be fun to see them for myself as well.
