The game looks so much fun. Everyone seems to wanting to get their hands on it as soon as possible. What do you think?

depends on how sony advertises (sp?) it. i remember a couple of months ago i couldnt cut the tv on without seeing that ps3 commercial with mgs4 in it. if they do the same, i dont see why it wouldnt, espically with the growing casual gamer audience.

LBP isn't as big a game as MGS4 or GTAIV and it doesn't already have an established fanbase. There's no way a niche game like this would sell a million copies in the first week, let alone the first day.

I reckon it as a chance, but Sony need to advertise this game to the masses and show them what it's all about before the release.

It'll be a great game and I think it could even sell systems if Sony sets it up in PS3 kiosks, but there's no chance it'll sell that many copies in 1 day.

Not a chance. I'd happily eat my words if it did, though, because I really want it to do well. It's a day one purchase for me :)

im talking about this one. it actually was a ps3 commercial. it just had mgs4 advertising in it. it used to come on nearly every channel during each commercial break about a month or 2 ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXw0r3mc-Nk and while searching for that one i found this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lna1pfPX7xk looks like sony is on top of their game.

this game looks interesting but i doubt it'll sell a million copies on the first day. Maybe a million within or after a month.

i think what the other guy was referring to was the PS3 commercial where they were showcasing a lot of games in one commercial and one of them were MGS4. I saw that one quite a bit too. I've seen a MGS4 commercial about 3 times, and there's a new PS3 commercial with them showing GT5: Prologue, LittleBigPlanet, & MLB 08. The thing about that one is sometimes they show MLB 08 and sometimes they show MGS4

Just for being the game that it is, kids related I really don't see that happening. Keep in mind that plenty of people are completely oblivious as to what LBP is and even if they were told they may still regard it as not that worthy of a buy for them. So I think it'll sell well under 1 mil in a day.

Ok my Thoughts on this subject if anyone reads this and responds yay I've got my internet productivity reward for the day.

I think LBP has a good potential to Even Outsell MGS4....EVENTUALLY.

Here's Why:

MGS4 is an epic experience of a game it's awesome in jsut about every aspect mostly for fans but newcomers can enjoy the awesome graphics and gameplay mechanics just as much as the long time fans so it's just about one of the better games this gen so far for sure.

But unlike LBP MGS4 is not a game that can continue selling well for long periouds of time simply because It's online is not it's main focus which is the big apeal these days for people PS3 and 360 Players alike these days preffer to interact with other people in the end no?

Now think about that and Think about LBP what kind of game is it really?
It's a game that thrives as much as people can make it thrive...Meaning It's a game that makes people invite other people they know to play it with them and as more people join the game and buy it from day 1 even until 6 months time it's community will grow and attract new players constantly just like WOW Did It didn't sell 10 milion in the first day not even the first 2 months it slowly Sold more and more constantly barely showing signs of slowing because it spread like an ugly disease.

I think LBP might do this as well and if so let's hope it spreads like ice cream can spread inside a cup filling it up (you know whta I mean a good kind of spreading :p) in the end if people with some creativity buy this game and make maps for it and are friendly enough it's bound to attract more people to get it and eventually after almost a year might even outsell MGS4.

I don't know if any of this makes much sense but to me it does if it doesn't to you that's your opinion and I'm supposed to respect that...not that I do >.>

Hmm, well if sony makes a great e3 presentation i mean highly publicized and very impressive, as well as puts some good advertising muscle behind it, then it should at least shift more than a million this holiday season if not a couple of million. I recall with Wii Fit, nintendo put on an attractive e3 presentation which impressed people like the New York Times, and low and behold, they got several million people to buy a $90 game. This being said, the game is relatively unknown with the general public as of now, so they'd need to build a ton of hype and get some great press to get a million on day one. At the very minimum, i believe it can sell a couple of million this holiday.

I don't think it will sell a million on the first day... but I think it could sell 2-3 million over its lifetime. How well it sells will depend on two things: how well it is received in Japan, and how well Sony advertises. I see many more 360 and Wii advertisments than PS3, and that is not good. MGS4 is selling well, but it (and the ps3) could likely be selling better if Sony stepped up the ad dollars for the game.

someone in here is smart. like he said, littlebigplanet is not a widely known game to casual gamers like the names of grand theft auto and halo. theres no way this game sells a million copies on its first day.

If it receives a good marketing campaign, then it is a possibility.
