Littlebigplanet sold more in its time than Crysis, how is it a flop?

I don't understand. Crysis barely managed a million sales. It is defintiely a great game too.MasteRich

crysis outsold 1M back in January http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/99063-25-crysis-sales-exceed-million

CRYSIS is on PC, its pirated. LBP is not. LBP = FLOP.

Also = Gears 2 outsold all PS3 exslusive3

You are comparing a high-end PC game WITHOUT TV marketing to a console game with tons of TV marketing, it's laughable by how little of a margin their sales were.

I'm not to sure about what you say about Crysis TC. :?

But in the case of LBP, it lived up to critical hype (AAA on Gamespot and Gamerankings) and it's only typically for fanboys to find any flaw they can in the game. In this case, since cows hyped it as the uber system seller, the fact that it didn't crack a million in the blank of an eye makes it a "Sales Flop".

[QUOTE="naval"] No it didn't, it hit a million about 4 months after it released :D . Where you getting your data from?

Crysis came out in mid November 2007. February 1st was the EA earnings report about Crysis breaking 1 million, however, their number were probably based off of 1-2 week old numbers. That means 2 months.

Second, your link is about Crysis, he was talking about LBP.

Also, by July they had sold 1.5 million copies. And it has continued to sell fairly well.

First, for the Crysis breaking 1 million in 2 months, it was mentioned in an interview somewhere.... The EA earnings report is where MOST places first reference it breaking one million, but it had actually done it a month or so before.

Second, your link is about Crysis, he was talking about LBP.

Have you come across actual sales numbers or some sort of link? Or is it something you just remember:P ? Secondly, I had no idea he was talking about LBP, he's quoting someone talking about Crysis' sale numbers then goes off to state they dropped off the chart; one would think he's refering to said game.

check my edit....

November 13th - February 1st is 2.5 months. But it is likely that EA's numbers were OVER 1 million and were based off of 2-3 week old numbers(they don't get the numbers back in on a daily basis). I also imagine EA wants to have numbers they are fairly certain about, so using 2-3 week old numbers is a safe bet.
