another great thing for sales on LBP is that it is a game that a parent would pick out for a kid ( not saying its a kiddy game) that I think will get the hole family involved.


Exactly, and the ps3 does need those, despite what the hardcore would say.

My sisters-in-law are 12, 14 and 19 (big family) and they love building and customizing things in games like Animal Crossing, or taking pics in SSBB. I know they'd spend months in this game. Honestly, I'd rather my kids played this (if I had them) then about any other game (stimulates creativity).

I imagine a big showing at E3 this year and that will trigger a massive marketing campaign (they'd be silly not to market it like crazy, meepmoomeep).

I guess we will have to wait until this time next year to see who is right.


I'll be very glad to be wrong. I definitely think it has the potential to be a world-changer... I just don't have confidence in companies when it comes to marketing a new and different product.

The hard-core market is much easier to track than the casual market. Hardcore gamers read websites like these, see that go up, and jump on it and tell all of their friends. Casual games build an audience and a following and spread like wildfire. And LBP has both of these markets. I know this will probably be one of the only games this year that I HAVE to get on Day One. And I would consider myself a semi-hardcore gamer.

But MGS4, somehow everyone expects it to sell 3mill

MGS4 has more hype than MGS3 1,2 and 3 put together. Lots of new comers to the series are checking it out. I even know a guy that has never played an MGS but he is buying a PS3 for MGS...WTF

but the thing is, i think the majority of current PS3 owners fall into the Hardcore demographic, they'll also want LBP, don't get me wrong, and LBP could very well sell a boat load, but i don't know if it's a system seller for parents, but it could. the only way i see it selling well is with great marketing.

it's going to be a great game and i hope it does sell a ton and pushes the PS3 for the casuals and younger audience.

i chose MGS4, FFXIII and GoW3 because the fan base is huge for each IP

that's the thing though, only the hardcores that lurk game sites know about LBP and are the ones who introduce it to family members. that's why i say it needs heavy marketing to reach the casuals.

I don't think we're really disagreeing. I have my doubts as well.

As far as a system seller for parents... I don't think we've seen one of those in several generations, outside Wii Sports... at least in the first couple of years of console sales. What sells them is how much the kids want it and the price point... which'll hurt LBP (at $400, if it remains).

The good thing is that, so far, LBP's trailers have been fabulous. That says a lot.

Anyway, I think it's already a world-changer in terms of how devs now think of their craft. So maybe LBP will have long-lasting effects that have nothing to do with sales.

Motorstorm 2 will see great sales, the first one topped 3million and i suspect the sequel will do simalar. Likewise Resistance 2 will see great sales.

Metal Gear Solid will sell by the bucket load, lifetime sales around the 5mil mark i suspect.

Killzone 2 will be the best FPS exclusive in terms of sales, it was the first PS3 game shown and this will be a game which will sell loads on Graphics alone.

Twisted Metal will sell a couple of million in US however outside the US the franchise is small so overal sales won't be huge, likewise with Socom and God of War (however socom and GOW have a bigger following outside of the US than TM)

LBP can be a massive seller.

FFXIII will sell millions

Other games are unknown

However you did forget the massive selling game Gran Turismo 5

overall in sales i suspect it will go (these are just my guess's)

1) Gran Turismo 5
2) FFXIII
2) Metal Gear Solid 4
3) Killzone 2
4) LittleBigPlanet
5) Motorstorm 2
6) Resistance 2
7) FFvs13
8) God of War III
9) Socom Confronation
10) Twisted Metal
11) Wardevil
12) Heavy Rain
