Yeah, Japanese charts are a lot different to what i'd expected, LBP & Wii Music hasn't sold well at all. Then GTA topped the chart (i think).

Poor LBP, less than Saints Row 2 on 360, thought it deserved way more.
I guess Sony's first party line up this holiday has not stood up at all to MS's at least where it counts in terms of money from consumer's pockets! What's left Resistance 2 v Gears of War 2? Talk about David and Goliath

Gz Fable. Well deserved sales.
Dead Space hasn't done badly. I think it will almost certainly hit 1m soon. It is a great game... the only EA game I bought in years I think (except WAR). There will almost certainly be a sequel IMHO. The space horror genre is very rare so...

I'm always chuffed to see a british dev sitting on top of the sales charts irrespective of format. Shame about LBP, it seems to be going the same way as Viva Pinata.

I suspect LBP will be a word-of-mouth seller that'll hang around for a long time - probably never toppping the charts, but it'll get a lot of sales overall I think.

>why does Eurogamer care what sells in the states?
Being a games website, I think it is because Eurogamer's audience might be interested in hearing how well games are selling. |

I just wonder why EG (or the site the're linking to respectively) uses the numbers for one platform this time instead of the usual how much a game soldl across all platforms?
Actually I don't, it's an advertisment like most "news" articles. |

I've been playing Fable 2 recently, having moved onto it for a break from FO3. I enjoyed both of them, but I found FO3 to be a bit of a grind at times. Its a great game, and maybe its just an issue of packing and scale, but I was starting to find repetition setting in (whereas something like Mass Effect, even though it had repetition up the ass of its side missions, I played right through with barely a pause for thought).
Both great games though. Fable 2 is certainly a more hollow experience, but its mindless hollow FUN all the same. |

oh please, please, don't take me wrong, nor insult..., but let me just post this rant:
I can't believe anyone, deep down, believed that LBP would achieve an Halo, Gears or MGS status. Maybe in another planet/society. It's a very niche concept, and I'm not arguing about its undeniable quality. In a platform like PS3 or 360 guns will *always* be bigger (and more badass) than dolls. We can argue the world is wrong, and whatnot, but shit is what it is. |

Vic,
Even though you share my real name, you are a first class tit and the ABSOLUTE definition of a Fanboy. Grow up. |

Fable 2 has guns as well, so that proves your point.
Also what gamers that don't know how cool LBP is at this point in time are going to buy the game because they'll see what other people are doing with it, you'll need to have the game for that now don't you. Or are we talking youtube gamers here? Confused.

Vic, I think that's an irrelvance. The fanboy disease is in you, you have the irrational and bizarre need to support one corporation against another, for what reason? I don't actually give a fuck, but I thought I'd ask you so you'd ask yourself.
I'VE BEEN REDSPARROWS, A SANCTIMONIOUS ARSE. |

I do agree LBP could have legs, it's great.
And it did only sell for a week or so. I only wish for it that it didn't have the humongous weight of the PS3 entry price attached to it. I still don't think PS3 users are huge game buyers on a whole. Sure gamers on a forum are, but I know a couple of people who bought one for it's HD movie output and only bought FIFA along with it. Nothing else. |

"I suspect LBP will be a word-of-mouth seller that'll hang around for a long time - probably never toppping the charts, but it'll get a lot of sales overall I think."
Why do you think that? edit: I'm not saying that that's not what will happen, I'm just wondering why you think it won't sell initially.
