Considering how Sony have promoted LBP, the critical acclaim that it has received and the bundles made available, sales of the game are poor in Japan. I really thought that this game would do much better in Japan.
Still, US and Others sales should hopefully have it selling 750K+ first week of proper launch. Factoring in the 160K odd that were snapped up on the stalled launch would mean first week sales should have been 900K, which would be great for a new IP.
I'm sure Sony will have some positive spin out of this week with PS3 almost definitely outselling Wii, and 360 for sure. Looks like it will be a 1 week spike in terms of beating the Wii though. It will be interesting to see how PS3 sales compare with the 360 in a couple of weeks.
