Isn't it crazy how ppl on here were saying it had a great launch after all the absurd predictions they were making and then were saying it's 3rd week (well 2nd, because of course we have to add 0 week and the 1st week together) was proof of it's guaranteed never-ending legs? All the while, those same ppl were saying Wii Music bombed hard and had no legs, yet it looks like Wii Music could end up distancing itself from LBP. All of sudden, it's something amazing, that a new IP could reach 1 mil, as fast as it did. It's not like there haven't been countless original ips in the past, that have done the same, with less attention drawn to them.

          Pay no attention to the intense PR work on Sony's behalf, the ridiciulous critical acclaim, unrepresented stark raving mad fanboy hype, giant ad campaign months in advance, the bundles, or the fact that Sony made the Sackboys their new mascot. Kind of underwhelming upfront sales for a mascot game, so far. Wii Music was in the exact opposite situation, being universally critically panned (even by some, before getting their hands on it), epic anti-hype by what seemed like almost everyone (ppl that didn't own the system, core gamers that did, and even casuals that love mini-games), and multiple 1st/2nd party games to compete against, that never stop selling. LBP may not of had the biggest budget for a HD game, but I'm pretty certain Wii Music's was much smaller and the ad campaign was slightly smaller, too. Ninty didn't even start advertising, right up until when the game was out. No one expected Wii Music to be anywhere nearly as successful as other 1st party titles, but come on. If some ppl are saying their still impressed with LBP sales, can't they at least respect Wii Music's sales, too. That's some really impressive hypocracy.

        There's nothing wrong with hyping a game, that has gameplay or concepts, that interest you, or trying to encourage development of an underrepresented genre/style of game on your system, but ranting for months on end, non-stop about the crazy sales, it's going to have and then acting like it's still doing phenomenal, when it doesn't come close to living up to your sales expectations, is b3yond childish and ruins any credibility you might of had. Given, I know this was the only site where this happened. In fact, I'm sure it was going on half the game forums, but here we have #'s.

        Anyways, I'm sure it well do ok, just not anywhere close, to not what so many where expecting from it.

If we add 10% of NPD to the NPD figures for USA only, that gives 390K. Which puts VGC 50K over. It still reached 1M 5 weeks after the NA release. 

Plus it has only been released in Europe for 4 weeks...

During the butchered launch in October Little Big Planet sold 310,000 copies in the U.S. During the whole month of November it sold 141,000.

A sharp decline over a longer period of time to rack up sales. Not to mention in one of the most important months of the year sales wise.

PS3 oweners need to learn to support their exclusive products or they aren't going to stay exclusive anymore. Sony could do a bit better job of advertising though. Despite all this I do expect the sales to pick up in December. They may not be amazing sales but it should increase.

While that may be true for third party games, it will never be the case for Sony published games. Fortunately for Sony they have a huge array of first party studios and 3rd party games sell enough to warrant 3rd party support for the console.
