No it's flopped, deal with it. I'll give you a tissue if it's that hard to accept. CreepyBacon
I personally don't care have the game think its awesome but 500,000 in its first month is not a flop I'm sorry if you think it is, especially at this time of year for a brand new ip thats not in a popular genre like fps. Its just sad that you can't bash the game for anything else but sales and yet even then you are stretching the argument saying it flopped. No its not an uber mega seller but it still has good sales. Also to say it flopped you would have to have someone throwing numbers abnout how much it would sell before it launched and it would have to be below those. As far as I know nobody was hyping it for anything except being a good AAA which it is. If you can show evidence of multiple people saying its would be a number one seller I would love to see it even then the game has only been out a month . the first month of sales for a new ip is hardly a good judegme of its lifetime sales. As an example guitar hero the original didn't even make it into the top 10 its first month out and it went on to sell over 1.5 million copies which is a good number. LBP made it to the number 8 spot and wasn't even out for a full week in that month.
If you think I'm the one who needs the tissue you are also wrong I actually have argued why I think its not a flop or at least why I think its even too early to judge if its a flop or not in sales. You seem to just state an opinion as fact and insult people who think otherwise.

Obviously it wouldn't have. It probably would have sold atleast 10 million by now.torontomapleafs
I wouldn't be surprised if it would have been in the millions by now if it had been on Nintendo's platform, even when LBP would have been heavily downgraded compared to PS3's game if it had been on the Wii.
...Nintendo just seems to know how to market their games better to the public.
if the game came to the Wii, it would have to have been executed differently, but i think it would have played into the Wii's audience quite well.
as long as LBPs developers managed their servers correctly, online wouldn't have been a problem. Mario Kart rarely has DC issues when I play, so if they could operate online at that level of dependiblilty i'm sure it would have been a big hit.
instead they developed it for the PS3 crowd, and no one's buying. it's a shame, because it looks like fun.
if i ever win the lottery, i'll buy a PS3 just so that I can play this game.
No it's flopped, deal with it. I'll give you a tissue if it's that hard to accept. CreepyBaconYeah, it's a sales flop, don't :cry: over it. Flopped in NPD, flopped in Europe, and when we get the MediaCreate results, we'll probably find out that it flopped in Japan too. It'd probably flop on Wii too. The game just doesn't have any mainstream cache`. The hardcore PS3 owners who wanted the game already have it. It's not like it's magically gonna sell 5 mil in the next year or something. It's a sales flop. Plenty of cows hyped this game as a good-seller/system-seller, that it would have casual appeal. They were oh so wrong. :lol:

If it had been on Wii, the physics would be clunky, the graphics would be Cel-shaded, and you'd have to use most of the wii's onboard memory to save a about a level or two. See Blast Works.
I think LBP did decently well but it was on the Wii it would have sold much better.... .lebanese_boyThat's because PS3 users don't buy platformers, that's what you get for putting a platformer in the shooterstation 3
now where does this sound familiar? (this isn't at you lebanese)
[QUOTE="nervmeister"]What was the sales hype for LBP again?hopesfall2ownsome said it'd outsell fable 2 :lol:Okay. But what did most say?

Do you really think the cows will say any different from what the head of playstation said. The guy said the game will be their most important title more so than mgs4,kz2 etc.
If there's been games on the PS2 and the Wii that have sold less than a million why would LBP be any different?
DeBlob No More Heroes Boom Blocks Zack and Wiki
Noticing a trend here :wink:
Hell, even Okami, a game on BOTH, the PS2 and the Wii didn't manage to crack a million units so give it a rest already.

Why people though LBP will be a system seller i dont know

It really is just a matter at aiming at the right audience and Playstation 3 owners are midly into platformers. That said this is the prime choice for a game that parents would buy for their kids as well for the holidays so I think LBP will continue selling for a long time.Sony should really start panicking now cuz there isnt a single game that will sell the ps3 in the future.mubarakibnumarWell, we'll take your word for it. :roll:
I think LBP did decently well but it was on the Wii it would have sold much better.... but the quality would have been massively different seeing as the Wii's power is a joke in this gen.lebanese_boyi own LBP, the level editor would be so much better on wii with the IR pointer
i don't see how LBP uses any amazing physics, or nothing. this game would be just as amazing in 480p guys
i mean, really a rock rolling down a hill, swinging from ball to ball, LBP doesn't do anything that couldn't be replicated even on the Wii's current hardare, except the HD, AI in the game is terrible, its the level design thats good, the editing thats good, that can be replicated on the PS2 with enough effort
i mean LBP only uses x for jump, and R1 to grab, thats really it.
i can see maybe the DVD holding it down a tad bit, but being as you can play LBP levels without downloading them, then the wii's memory wouldn't be a problem either.
seriously, boom blox and half life 2 have better AI, physics, then that used in LBP
LBP isn't even showing a 1/32th of the PS3's power, it requires 2 buttons (which could easily be 1 and 2 on wiimote)
i don't see this being hard at all. i mean if they're making it for PSP it definetly, DEFINETLY could be good with a 8GB DVD on Wii with better controls using the IR pointer for level making
and it would sell better, games start off with their best sales, my freidns have been laughing at me suggesting they should buy LBP along with the other good holiday games.
500k in a month, good, but i wouldn't be terribly shoocked if LBP never hit 1 million, but i hope it does, good game
[QUOTE="mubarakibnumar"]Sony should really start panicking now cuz there isnt a single game that will sell the ps3 in the future.nervmeisterWell, we'll take your word for it. :roll: Well which specific game will be able to sell the ps3?
