I don't know about the week 0 concept, but according to ioi LBP did 236k in it's second week of sales. That's a 72k increase in sales from Week 1 to Week 2. Now that is amazing.

 

 Not quite when you consider most stores would not sale it. It's official release was the 28th.

I'm glad you posted this, because this is part of my confusion.  Some people say it had week 0 sales of 164k which in my mind is pretty amazing since it wasn't even on sale.  But it seems some people discount the week 0 notion and say it did only 164k in week 1 which isn't that great.  If you think it did 164k in week 1 then you have to be impressed by the 72k increase in week 2 sales(my origirnal post).  If you subscribe to the week 0 notion then you have to be impressed that the game did 400k in its first week of sales.

Either way LBP did 400k in NA by 11/1 (officially on the market for 4 days).  I think this is contrary to the OP original assumption.
