Well i think it'll do well... It sadly won't do as well as something lame like Black ops. but it won't do all that bad i say. It'll do well little above normal games, but it won't be best game of the year in general game player's opinion. it's sad sure. as LBP is far more fun, long lasting, and different. then about almost anygame made lately. but most people are in to boring FPS games and games like halo and other overrated so called popular games. :0 *mew

And halo is cool, you can create your own maps............

I don't think it will sell very well to be honest. Unfortunately, most gamers still consider it to be a "kiddy" game.

Yoho~ xD And in LBP you can create whole fantasy worlds. How about we agree that both games are great in their own way?

Yea it's not gonna beat black ops. Sadly. But what does it take to be "Game of the Year"? Sales? It would be cool if both LBP titles got That title.

Will it sell more copies then black ops? No. But then again, I don't think the community needs more people whos goals are to destroy the fun of others, which is predominate in the game. Though I must admit fun destroyers is much less rampant compared to modern warfare 2. I buy LBP2 because it allows me to be creative in a way no other game can possibly provide. IMO LBP2 will sell more then LBP1, the collectors edition sold out here 2 weeks from launch. (Note to self, pre order month in advance >.>) There is a lot of hype based around this game, which will help. I know some early creators will be displayed on websites which will further maintain LBP2s sales and so will recommendations. 3.5 million. Will it be game of the year? Too early to say, because, I haven't played the full game! Or played other games this year. I would down right call LBP2 GOTY, but that would be a little bias. lol in LBP2 you can remake halo To what extent? The gun yeah, no problem with that (expect the curves).

I think it'll sell similarly to the first, maybe a little better now that the PS3 install base is bigger. It might be a sleeper; I'd imagine word of mouth to be a big influence and now that create seems to be so much more simplified, I think a lot more people will recommend it to friends. The trouble is that so many people buy a console solely to play Black Ops or FIFA, just like so many people go to the cinema solely for 3D - it's mental

Hopefully -- A lot. By my estimate, probably 2.5-3.5 in one week. I really hope it gets GOTY. That would be so sweet!

Personally, I think like LBP1. All the creator's will pick it up near release, then for the rest of it's life it'll be in bundles and little kids who ask their parents to buy it for them. But well enough.

LBP1 made GOTY...why not LBP2? honestly sad to see people lose hope in LBP2 making booming sales...makes me ALMOST question why you're in a fan site dedicated to the game in the first place...but i know people love LBP2 still sucks...I for one am confident LBP2 will make millions

2-3 million Still get some GOTY awards but less than last time because of the things like Portal 2 and Uncharted 3 releasing this year.

I think it'll outsell the first LBP and in quick fashion too... Unfortunately I think it will also have a higher faster trade-in rate than one... My thinking is HYPE will bring in all the original purchasers plus alot of new people willing to give it a try. Once the storymode is done alot of people will trade the game in... It's just a sad fact that for many storymode is the entirety of the game... and if I had to vote for game of the year based on story mode alone, LBP2 wouldn't even get my vote. Others will try the editor and bore quickly once they realize... it is not an immaculate conception creator... and they still have to work hard for it. Finally, I expect alot of people you now know, to give-up and give-in. Labouring for 3 or 4 years in obscurity is enough to burn anyone out who craves acceptence... And everyone is too stingey with their HEARTS and love. It's still the same game. No matter how improved, it should be uneligible for game of the year honors. The only reason we have a LBP2 is there was money to be made in the franchise! LBP1's life expectency was unlimited! It's potential Unlimited! Remember when everyone shouted we couldn't have WATER! But we did! There was no end in sight... until SONY killed it. So now we know every version of LBP has a life expectency of 3-4 years and this alone will hurt the game in the long run. Funny how there hasn't been any dlc in like a year or more... Oh that's right, they gathered it all up and slapped a label on it.

I think it'll outsell the first LBP and in quick fashion too... Etc While i don't agree with everything you said, you do make a lot of good points, It does leave one to wonder if LBP2 could have been just one big DLC and patch, and does make one think maybe LBP1 could have lasted forever. But really I'm fine with it, so i have to buy a new Disk more or less every 3 years, not that bad if you ask me, DlC can only hold a game so long until everyone starts to still leave over time anyways. LBP2 looks far better then LBP1. it was all worth it i think, I'm going to have fun with it just fine. tho I do hope in a way, we don't see a LBP3 till PS4 is out. *mew

It will sell brilliantly I know that... To be honest I'm just happy that I got my CE preordered!

I think it'll outsell the first LBP and in quick fashion too... Unfortunately I think it will also have a higher faster trade-in rate than one... considering the fact that a lot of the complaints (ie: floaty jumping) can be tweeked per lv. i think it will have a slower tradein rate. My thinking is HYPE will bring in all the original purchasers trust me, as a beta tester, there's a bit more then hype. plus alot of new people willing to give it a try. ok Once the storymode is done alot of people will trade the game in... this i don't agree w/. you see 90% of lbp2 is create and the community. If you're talking about the people w/o internet connection or w/o PSN, you have a point, but other than that, not really. It's just a sad fact that for many storymode is the entirety of the game... ya, but before you buy a game, its smart to look at what its about. + platformers like mario or lbp have never had a good story. and if I had to vote for game of the year based on story mode alone, LBP2 wouldn't even get my vote. i think you mean story of the year. game of the year is based on the WHOLE game. not just 10% of it Others will try the editor and bore quickly once they realize... it is not an immaculate conception creator... and they still have to work hard for it. you weren't in the beta were you. Making a space shooter is very easy (a good one is a bit harder) and yes a lot of idea just come from fiddling w/ create. i got at least 7. Finally, I expect alot of people you now know, to give-up and give-in. Labouring for 3 or 4 years in obscurity is enough to burn anyone out who craves acceptence... (Cough) I've been waiting to get publicly noticed for a while. yet i'm still here. Why is that? I guess i just love to create and that i'm making a game that i can't turn around. And everyone is too stingey with their HEARTS and love. i don't It's still the same game. no it's not. It has the same basis, and basics, but its a very different game (trust me) No matter how improved, it should be uneligible for game of the year honors. And mario galaxy 2 and other sequals should? its based on the game. not the fact that its a sequal to the original. Of corse its similar. but ther is at least 3X the creation power and potential than b4. The only reason we have a LBP2 is there was money to be made in the franchise! maybe. But that doesn't mean its not worth the money. the beta was amazing. and if you were in it and saw what was created, you would know that this game is definatly worth it!!! LBP1's life expectency was unlimited! It's potential Unlimited! no every game has a expirey date. lbp may never lack imagination but the lbp1 tools were way to limiting. Remember when everyone shouted we couldn't have WATER! But we did! There was no end in sight... until SONY killed it. Edit: ok, i may have been wrong on this part b4. but this part is still quite wrong in itself. I remember from other forums that people wished there was water, but i don't remember seeing people say that their couldn't be water. and everything has a end. Heck lbp was starting to get a bit staile for me. The limits of the tools makes it so you can only do so much. I felt as though i did all i could do in this game. When i got into the beta, i felt that rush again. It didn't feel staile as b4. It felt new. Fresh. like a whole new game series w/ the same features. but the new tools are soo great. this game will be worth it just to play the good community levels. That is if you play. I my self create. I'm creating a game. I can't do this in lbp1. But i can in lbp2. So now we know every version of LBP has a life expectency of 3-4 years and this alone will hurt the game in the long run. since evey level can be Bkwards compatible, not really. Funny how there hasn't been any dlc in like a year or more... marvel dlc packs..... That in itself was 30 bucks worth (more like 20 but still) and there was a LOT of dlc last year. were you living under a rock some where? Oh that's right, they gathered it all up and slapped a label on it. you realize it uses a new engine, tools that destroy the bottlecap set by conectors and bolts. seriously. if you don't do you research and just blam crap. then you're gonna seem like a troll. the game is worth the money. A good amount of lbp2's stuff could not be done w/o the new engine. IE: this is a NEW game. a sequal but still a NEW GAME. sorry but i kind of had to red post. A lot of things i didn't agree w/. the game will be worth it. not for the story. but for the comminuty. (just wait for my game in there. it'll be great!!!) once again, its a sequal. expecting a sequal not to have similarities to the original is rediculus. obviouly there will be similarities, and unless you were in the beta, you guys don't know how big the impovements were. to answer the OP i think that it will sell roughly a million more then the original.

No. this seems to be the most outragous part of the post! water was a feature requested. no one requested the controlinator, the power gloves, nore the movers. yet Mm added them. and they add more to the game then any amount of dlc you could ever even want. *after searching the hundreds of threads LBPC has ever made about PORTABLE EMITTERS, SACKBOY AI, PORTABLE WATER, GRAPPLING HOOK, CONTROLLER MAPPING AREA (my thread), ETC.* ummmmm.....I'm going assume to your status as Lint/Fuzzball is the reason for this confusing post...in which case...we all forgive you

The game is obviously going to be similar to the first. it's a sequal after all. But does being a sequal dify this game GOTY rights, NO. He stated that the game was a big expantion pack. This can be said for ALL sequals. this game offers more new content then most 3quals do in comparison to thier originals. Quite an outstanging feat if i do say so myself. PS: i'm a fuzzball now? Oh, hadn't noticed. PPS: ok i was wrong no need to rub it in my face. I didn't troll, didn't spam, nor did i anger anyone. I don't get the forgiveness part

lbp does look like a kiddies game at first,maybe thats why it doesnt sell as well as other titles.i rememeber seeing the first lbp1 advert and thinking it looked like a crappy kiddy platformer. it was the one where they guy says somthing like " thats not the real dog,he got ran over" it showed zero creating. after i stumbled on a couple of youtube lbp vids i bought it and it was actually amazing. if that add showed just alittle bit of create id have got it sooner

If everything in LBP 2 had been DLC instead of a new game it would have easily cost 2-3 times more to buy than a new game does.

I'm thinking 50, maybe 60 copies in the US. Perhaps as high as 63 copies. A little less than that in the UK.

I wonder what happens if Mm buys a copy? I have to say, every time I've looked in GAME I've seen at least one Pre-Owned LBP, and quite a few people I know have a copy that they don't play. Sad really.

I think until the release of LBP3, 5 million copies will be sold.
