So PS3 fanboys mouthing off about Japan is bad, but now it's cool to mouth off about Japan because the PS3 isn't doing so hot. Let's be honest instead of fanboyish (like you)- Japan usually accounts for a significantly smaller portion of sales compared to NA and EU, so going on N4G and calling any console or game a flop based on Japanese sales is just ignorant. SCEJ is probably not too worried about this considering the PSP has been dominating in sales (and crushing the 360 since that's all...
0, due to lack of interest.
that lena knows nothing of what they're talking about. If LBP hit 400k in Japan, Sony would be thrilled. If LBP sells 200K in the first week, I will sh!t myself.
"They haven't been the most accurate in history for giving us sales figures."
That must have been the understatement of the year.
I may finally get my hands on Ninja Gaiden II. Oh, nevermind, I just remembered all of the games coming out the rest of the year. I'll be playing NG2 next April/May most likely:P
children will use Japanese sales numbers to try and prove a point. Let's wait for the NA and EU numbers on LBP. GTAIV PS3 sales are absolutely incredible though.
may be the only game I decide to install on my 360. I don't really notice the load times all that much on any of my other games:P
I won't be picking up the blu ray. Don't get me wrong, I love my blu rays more than my games (I have 70+), but this is just like I Am Legend to me whereas it's another mediocre Will Smith hero movie. Rent this one, don't buy it if you haven't seen it.
I'm not surprised that the problem was fixed as quickly as it was. I earned a lot of trophies online 2 days ago while the servers worked for a good amount of time, and my published level was played a few times. I can't wait to get home and keep working towards that platinum trophy:)
I'm hoping the demo will draw me in. I do like platformers, and there is a good chance that some hands on time will translate into a purchase for me:)
@Kewlkat - I downloaded the Tomb Raider demo yesterday and was extremely unimpressed. If you are looking for a game like that, I would still get Uncharted for $29.99 if you haven't played it (and if you have a PS3), or just go get one of the other awesome games coming out right now (Fable II, LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3, Resista...
I kind of like that it takes a decent amount of bullets to take enemies down. That gives everyone an opportunity to gain at least some XP and if you are just crushing the enemy, then you can earn a ton of XP:) It seems that most of us in the beta can agree that this guy doesn't really know what he's talking about, and this article really should've been disregarded at the part where he pointed out bugs being a problem in the beta. Really, he shouldn't have wasted his time with this stupid a...
There is no need to defend LittleBigPlanet. People like Fox01, Vega75, etc. will most likely never get a chance to play the game, and they just jump on any BS excuse to discredit it. The game is worth $59.99 without the online, and it's official release date is TODAY in the US (10.28). The servers will work fine just as they do with every other game that comes out and messes up on PSN OR LIVE (Halo 3, idiots). Use this time to collect all your stickers and do all the tuturials, mini games...
And you thought correctly.
there is SOO much to do without the online that you shouldn't notice if the servers were messing up for another day or two.
can you just get the servers to go up and stay up, or at least be stable?
Yeah, I gotcha.
@ R2-JD - I totally agree with you. Aren't people constantly offended by games like GTA?
By the time I got off work and called around to all the Wal-Marts, everyone had been notified of the recall. I'll just have to wait until mine comes in at GameStop.
you really should take advantage of how easy and affordable Sony has made it for us to switch out our HDD. I've got 250GB in mine at the moment, and it only costs ($80 - Western Digital brand new on eBay) and took about 5 minutes to do (not counting restore time).
that Wal-Mart was telling people in the US when they forgot to do the recall the other day?
LBP was supposed to sell the most in Japan, not NA or EU, and VGChartz always has accurate sales data. I'm sure no bundles were even sold as well. /sarcasm
Moron.
