someone please clarify. are you seriously calling 3mil units sold a flop?

I don't know what's the deal with you and many people here. People are just saying what happend with the game: price cut really soon, it was bundled**

Nobody is saying it didn't do good, I don't know what's your issue with trying to kind of downplay that it was bundled, and that really added a lot of sales to the total. I don't really see how saying that it was bundled is an issue. He is just saying nothing but the real deal.

The game was supposed to be huge for sony, they even mentioned that sackboy could have been sony's mascot. But it didn't turn the way sony was expecting. Still, is not bad for a new IP (I don't see a lot of games, specially new IP, hitting 3 million lately anywayz)

I just don't get how some people get defensive when others mentioned price cut and bundles.

**What exactly is heavy bundled? B/c a game that after a few weeks is bundled, and next year is almost bundled in every single system... at least for me, that's heavy bundling

The excitement I saw in Sony fans about this title, is the same I see in Microsoft fans about Natal.

Everyone praises it, but in the end maybe just a few ones are being honest will truly pick the camera...

We'll see, and 3 millions is a very good number for this game. I don't consider it a flop.

this game is selling like a wii game...(though the effect is attenuated somewhat, it's a ps3 game afterall).

D'ya think if Sony thought LBP was a flop that they would have green lit ModNation Racer as Sony's premier Kart racer game? Doubtful. D'ya think LBP PSP would have been made if LBP was a flop? Not likely.

The existence of ModNation Racer and LBP PSP is proof positive that LBP PS3 is far from being a flop.

Oh and the fact that people who play the game love the game helps a lot too.

The only time I see bundling as a sales "cheat" is when a game is auto-bundled with every console sale at every retailer. AFAIK there's only one auto-bundled game this gen: Wii Sports. There will be very few people who bought a PS3 bundled with LBP who didn't chose the LBP bundle because it came with LBP. If you chose the LBP bundle over other bundles then that's a LBP sale just as much as if you bought the game on its own.

Not bad, I have not played this game, but the people I know that have absolutly love it, its one I have meant to pick up, but always forget.

it's sights like this that make me wonder why I come here sometimes, it's impossible for folks to just be happy for a game that's done well, they have to go out of their way to kick 7 bells of hell out of it.

It reached 3million on a console that's meant to be dead in the water when there was a (supposedly) better choice for the kids (aka the wii) out there. Give it the credit it's due exactly the same way people give Halo3, wii sports and mario kart wii the credit they deserve.

It wasn't bundled in the US though was it?

Not that i've ever witnessed. I think it was just the UK, although I could be wrong.

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.
