Sony will not let LBP, a first game which is now almost guaranteed AAA metacritic and gamerankings rating, a game that is exlcusive to PS3, flop.

Flop is relative ...

Ratchet and Clank Future is also a game that was published by Sony, received solid review scores, is exclusive to the PS3, received tons of marketing, was retailer's favourite game to bundle holiday 2007, and only sold 1.4 Million copies ... 1.4 Million can be considered a success by Sony but compared to the hype of the game it could be considered a failure as well.

 

 

 anybody who says a game has sold almost 1.5 mil is a failure is very delusional

So, had Metal Gear Solid 4 or Grand Theft Auto 4 sold 1.5 Million units and (as a result) bankrupted their developers/publishers because of the high development costs they would be considered a success?

There were countless posts of how Ratchet and Clank future would become the best selling Ratchet and Clank game and sell (more than) 3 Million units ... selling (less than) half that much can be considered a failure in relation to those expectations.

 

I doubt Little Big Planet cost anywhere near as much as MGS4 or GTA IV.

Maybe the marketing is big, but that is Sony. From what I heard, MM was working out of a studio above a toilet store.

Could be wrong above the store part but I could have sworn that was said in an interview. Unless I somehow mixed them up with another dev.
