The US sales have been good so far - but next week is pretty important for the title. Its hard to know how the legs will do, given its "odd" two week launch period. If it does 100k (or less), I'll consider that poor - if it does 200k (or more), I'll consider that excellent.
Sales in Japan though, have been less than terrific - and bordering on terrible (for the title). Still, its been only one week.
The odd thing, is the LBP vrs WiiMusic ratio. WiiMusic:LBP is approx 2:1 in Japan - and WiiMusic has done ok (but not great).
In the US, its closer to 1:3 - whether this shows a failure of WiiMusic in the US, LBP being a "western" title (or some combination of both) - I'm not too sure.

Saw my first LBP ad on TV (Australia) - some "Rock / Guitar" level. To be honest, I had no real idea what was going on - in terms of it being an ad for a "game" I don't think it was very good - more showed off some interesting content (looked more like Guitar Hero ... I think?).
It also finished with an interesting "LBP - FREE!" (with any PS3 purchase)...?
