It'd be nice if sales were to pick up during the holiday season. Here's to hoping.

Word and mouth is not enough sony.Its good they are doing an ad campaign, but c'mon its pretty late, many people have bought the christmas presents!!!!LBP is brilliant though and its the sort of game that should keep on selling fpr a long time as levels get better.
i thought PS3 sales were on pace with gamecube sales rate. so thats pretty massive failure right there.

It's a new IP, pretty new concept to console gamers, and I think LBP will gradually become a huge hit by people expressing how awesome the game really is.

I really need to get back to playing this game. It got quickly overshadowed by a lot of other titles out there. Thanksgiving is going to be pure gaming for me. =)
my nephew saw that I bought it and asked is it good? and the only thing I could say was ''it's cute''
Hope they advertise it. Yaaaaaaaay

If you think word of mouth will sell you 4+million copies then you are delusional, this statement is pretty desperate from sony, how many other games which scored so high, new ip, have sold bad..where was word of mouth. im not hating on Sony but they cannot honestly think that.

[/QUOTE] This game really is for console players, many PC gamers I know say LBP is a glorified platformer, I personally heavily disagree, but then they have been playing games like this for years and years.Sony just has to do more ads, and change thwe one for LBP they have at the moment it sucks.
They need to advertise it and what it is exactly the game is about. In all seroiusness my friends are afraid of the sackboy in that Christmas commerical. Yes they are girls but it is freaking creepy with those big eyes and its tongue hanging out shaking his head.If more people actually knew what the game did then maybe it would sell more. I mean all you see is a things hopping around and explanations about fun. Show off the level maker ect.Gears of War 2 probably has the best commerical I've seen in a while. When I first saw that it was like wow I want that game and when anyone else sees it, that music just gets to to them I don't know.Fallout 3 gets the job done as well. Guy in armor, desolate world, and comments on War lol. I mean while I don't like the Fallout Commerical from an adversisting point it gets the job done.

There focus on multimedia, while having it's benefits, ended being a hinderance as well for both the PS3 and PSP.
