LBP is anything but huge based on existing sales figures. The hype for this game was always doomed to result in relative disappointment.

Nonetheless, it is good that the game looks to be getting towards being commercially successful, to accompany it's critical acclaim.

"Relative disappointment"?

No one is disappointed.  It's week 1 sales of 400k and it's only in 2 regions, not counting EU.  >_>  If EU sales are anything like NA sales for the game, it will do another 300kish for it's opening week there, bringing it to 700k week 1 in all regions.  More than my 500k week one prediction. 

Disappointment would be if 1st week sales were well under 500k, but it looks like well over 500k.

I'm sorry?  The game sold just over 200k week one.

That is disappointing indeed.  In its second week in the US, it did well.  But if you contrast words like "huge" with estimates like 500k first week WW (which games as recent as Fallout 3 and Fable 2 have shown to be decidedly un-huge) then you are bound to contribute to the sense of massive and excessive hype surrounding this title.
