Good sales. Didn't do as sony expected but still 3 million is a big accomplishmet. Not my game though

Not a flop medium size hit, not huge

True. LBP is one of the cheapest games you can find. In 2009, Amazon.co.uk had it for £9.99 - £12.99 for many months.

I thought my giving out the price in NOK currency was a dead giveaway, but what the heck; I'm from Europe, more specifically Norway and stuff costs a lot here. A whole lot, especially the older Nintendo stuff was abbhorrently priced with some games costing what would amount to roughly 300$ counting inflation from then till now and the current exchange value.

Its probably all dandy in Florida but I live in a country and area that isn't exactly pampered with cheap electronics. Every time I read on here that someone has built a gaming rig for 600$ I die a little inside, knowing that here you can barely get a decent GPU for that price.

Everyone predicted 20Million units by the end of 2009.

This is an EPIC flop that has no doubt lost SONY billions.

The massive price cuts were only in Europe. Our friends across the Atlantic were paying full price for quite a while.

And it wasn't heavily bundled, or anything.

Yeah the game was incredibly cheap at launch in the UK. This was my first PS3 game I purchased almost exactly 1 year ago.

From a software perspective it surely didn't flop, but we knew that already at the end of 2008.
On the other end I still think it flopped, cause it was meant to attract a new audience to the PS3 or at least was hyped up to be so.
Hardware barely increased that week. MGS4 was in the end a much bigger factor, although the "hardcore" crowd already owned a PS3 back then.

I'm happy for it. I hope this shows that if you make an effort to make a new then you will see strong consumer support.

It has done exactly what I wanted it to do. Diversify the library of games on the PS3 and it did help to turn around the platform.

LBP is HUGE?

3 million down 7 more to go! :P
