MM may be making a profit on the development costs, but LBP has been one of the most heavily advertised games this year, or even this generation. That shit is expensive and it wouldn't surprise me if overall it runs at a break even or even a loss, especially if they end up bundling worldwide it to help move consoles and increase it's total ownership and accordingly increase it's brand name by getting people to play it. When they include it in a bundle they don't always get any extra income from the game.
I know it's already being offered as a free game when you buy a PS3 in Europe/Others, plus the bundles in Japan, so when they are already losing money on the console and now have to include a free game, many of the sales already are for no income, so it certainly isn't going to be a cash cow.

Agreed. Are they really offering it for free in Europe? That's rather sad considering it just got released in the territory...

Not everywhere I think, but certainly in some major regions
