	C_Hollomon posted 14/04/2009, 06:33 @ Aj_habfan and Gearbox Sony is not stupid. If they wasn't making money for these games then they wouldn't be making them. Baseball isn't as propular and that's one of the reasons for the sales. Sony may not be paying alot to make this game. As long as they making a profit they will continue making the game. Baseball games never did big numbers. MVP by EA sold millions but not big numbers. I guess EA gave up on MLB and focus on Madden. Message \| Report

	Natester posted 12/04/2009, 04:40 @Gearbox The only reason it doesn't sell allot is because its not advertised enough like Madden which is the same game every year unlike The Show that gets greatly improved each year. I don't think there is a game that has sold a tremendous amount (4million+) That didn't have constant advertisement. Great sales usually mean you had great advertisement for it. Message \| Report
	Aj_habfan posted 10/04/2009, 02:08 Sony is stupid for making these? Last years sold what, 1.3m combined on all platforms? That's smart, it's only a yearly update. What's stupid is continuing with their basketball franchise. Message \| Report

	C_Hollomon posted 11/03/2009, 10:30 This game is being sold out in some places I see. That's good. This is the best MLB game out there. I think Sony should talk to MLB in making the game license like EA got the NFL to license Madden. Sony is the only one making a better MLB game. Message \| Report
	NicholasCage posted 09/03/2009, 06:49 This game is sold out in my local Target, Best Buy and Gamestop. There were only 2 copies left in Wal Mart. Also read from other peoples post on forums that it's sold out locally for them also. Hopefully it sells a good 100k+ first week? Message \| Report
