I'm confused. IS LBP out in Americas????

VGC homepage has LBP first week sales for LBP as 164,000. The same week that Fable 2 did 705,000

American Top 5, 25th Oct 2008
1 Fable II 705,162
2 Wii Sports 260,139
3 Wii Fit 168,419
4 LittleBigPlanet 164,434
5 Far Cry 2 116,358

Going by this as I said many times before it's all forum internet hype and is very niche market.

I expect possibly 1.3 mill by Dec 31st (that could be generous) and maybe possibly 2.4 mill LT.

 

rouge stores like walmart, target, CC, were selling it, you know those small bottom feeding stores no one goes to

I doubt you were able to find any copies of Little Big Planet at these stores on or before 10/25.  The 164k number is mainly people that were able to pick up their preorders late in the day on 10/25.  The Gamestop I preordered from would only fill preorders on 10/25. 

Including the 10/25 data I project 500k in NA, 75k in Japan, and 750k in Others for week 0 + week 1.  Not bad for a team of 30 developers.
