[mojovonio]

If LBP makes the top 10, then that will be a success.

And the damage control begins!

Numbers are coming up!

[EmCeeGrammar]

[EmCeeGrammar]

What came out in October?

Children dressed as DEMONS.

No for realz yo

[demi]

saints row bitch

[Oblivion]

What came out in October?

LBP, Fable 2, Guitar Hero 4, Saints Row 2, Wii Music and Gears I think.

[WrikaWrek]

Only thing i wanna see is Fable 2 pull strong numbers.

I want Peter to be able say "I'm the best maing, I deed it"

[Joe Molotov]

saints row bitch

Saints Row 2 > LBP, Imma calling it!

[Rman]

If LBP doesn't make the top ten it would be a big disappointment for SONY.  Even though the game has ton of user created content, most of the people who will buy the game already have.  I haven't seen a PS3 exclusive with legs yet.  Even MGS4 dropped considerably. 

[Phoenix Dark]

readddy

[drew]

salzzzzzzzzz

[EmCeeGrammar]

Im guessing 2 skus for lego batman, 1 for wii play, dead space, etc
Wouldnt be surprised if LBP and wii music dont chart.

[Oblivion]

Some gaf jerk said it did chart in the top 10.

[TVC15]

LBP will make the top 10 this month.  I'd assume it had enough preorders alone to guarantee that.  We'll have to see next months NPD to know if it's actually big, though.  Remember MGS4 had a big first month and then dropped very quickly.  I'm not even sure it was in the top 10 on month 2.

[archie4208]

guitar hero is gonna take at least 4 slots in the top 10 :'(

[Phoenix Dark]

LBP will sell well enough, but people acting like it's going to suddenly catapult the PS3 to the Olympian heights it reached with the release of VF5, Lair, or MGS4 are gonna be disappointed

What do you mean?  Are there still server issues?  I've been flooded with too many games to get back to it.

[y2kev]

I don't think LBP is making the top 10.

4 Guitar Hero + Wii fit + Wii Play + Mario Kart/some other wii trash + Fable 2 + at least 1 Rock Band = 9 spots accounted for...

So Fallout, LBP, Far Cry (which I think massively overshipped), Dead Space, and some other titles to fight over.

He may be referring to the commercials, which did a wonderful job of confusing the fuck out of people as to what this game is supposed to be about.

I read about user generated content being pulled

How? 

have you been reading the crazy moderation stories lately

spending ten hours making a level only to have it snatched down and blocked from use (even on your own system) without a stated reason for doing so tends to sap away any motivation to keep creating levels

and they've pretty much point blank said this will continue, and issued some very vague guidlelines for level creation

the online portion of this game will be a ghost town within three months

[Van Cruncheon]

saints row 2 might make it

[The Fake Shemp]

Dead Space

Fallout 3 sold ridiculously well too.

[pilonv1]

Not looking good for LPB in Australia!

Fable 2 should be #1 for NPD

[TVC15]

I don't think LBP is making the top 10.

4 Guitar Hero + Wii fit + Wii Play + Mario Kart/some other wii trash + Fable 2 + at least 1 Rock Band = 9 spots accounted for...

Ergh, I fogot to figure in the multi-SKU monster.  I dunno, I still think LBP will squeeze in.  It had to have been heavily preordered.

4 Rock Band
Dead Space (potential for 2 slots)
Fable 2
Saints Row 2 (possible 2 slots, though I doubt it)
Wii Trash (probably taking 2 slots, possibly 3)
LBP

Ergh, maybe it will be in, maybe not.  WIll Madden sales have cooled down by now?

LBP already charted.

Fable 1 comes number 1. Wii fit number 2.

Fallout 3 and Dead Space(or was it saints row 2?) 360  versions also chart.

[The Innocent X]

LBP lovers can claim victory either way. If it doesn't chart it'll be because of the recall.

Guitar Hero's not on there?

[archie4208]

Guitar Hero AND Rock Band bombed.

[Oblivion]

Nope. Tail end of October, and it's said to have charted after Fable 2.

[Rman]

Wow at Fable 2.

[Van Cruncheon]

Some dude on GAF subscribes to the whole thing or some shit. Not the PS3 fanboy, that guy is quoting the guy i'm talking about.

He basically broke down the top 10, but i don't remember now.

PS3 LITTLE BIG PLANET SONY (CORP) Oct-08 8 215K



No, NO NO NO GODDAMNIT NOOO!!!

[demi]

360 + third party =

[Rman]

And holy hell at almost a million Wiis being sold.  So much for the recession.  360 did some good hardware numbers.  Price cut may be taking affect.

[pilonv1]

Saints Row 2 > LBP. Gamers vote with their wallets.

@ ps3.

[AdmiralViscen]

Did 360 just erase PS3's gains this year in the US?

[y2kev]

The real story here is Guitar Hero not charting, what the hell. It has to be right below the top 10.

[WrikaWrek]

Wii almost sells a million in fucking October.

What the fuck.

Well, Fable 2 did good, i wanted it to reach the million but i'll take what i can. 360 sold above what i predicted, Ps3 under what i predicted, so on that end it was a perfect month.

[TVC15]

Guitar Hero AND Rock Band bombed.

Yeah, where's Guitar Hero?  It came out the 26th.  Did it really flopza?

[pilonv1]

Did 360 just erase PS3's gains this year in the US?

ps3 "leads" were like 10-20k for a few months. ps3 just got ownzored

[Oblivion]

Oh shit. I confused the Wii numbers with the DS numbers cause of Reggie's comment. Holy fuck.  

[AdmiralViscen]

With MGS4 month I think it added up to a 160k lead so far this year, didn't it? I remembered people talking about whether 360 would take till Nov or Dec to correct that. Then again I haven't paid a whole lot of attention so maybe I'm way off.

GH just has too many SKUs hitting at once, they are probably #11-15.

[demi]

Good, World Tour sucks dick.

[y2kev]

I think $180 plastic apocalypse might be the reason.

[Eel O'Brian]

apparently no amount of shitty software can kill the wii

[archie4208]

Guitar Hero AND Rock Band bombed.

Yeah, where's Guitar Hero?  It came out the 26th.  Did it really flopza?

Only real reason I can think of is that there are 12 total SKUs (4 consoles x 3 bundles). Maybe it did much better than expected but none of the individual numbers came up in the top 10. (Reposted this because GAF moves much to fast to have a real conversation without all the gifs and emoticons)

[cool breeze]

No Wii Music  

It's sad that Dead Space bombed

[pilonv1]

Guitar Hero AND Rock Band bombed.

Yeah, where's Guitar Hero?  It came out the 26th.  Did it really flopza?

wrong time of year to release a $200 game, bad economy = no sales

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Wii almost sells a million in fucking October.

What the fuck.

The type of people that are buying this thing is crazy.  I've got a couple people that I work with that are close to retirement and haven't played a videogame since, well, ever and have gone out and bought Wiis.  I keep trying to talk people out of it but they evidently need their dose of Wii tennis.
