Well the first week is not 500k but 350k, so quite in line with most expectations when this thread was created. But then the game got all these overrated reviews and that's when the LBP craziness really exploded on the internet. Plus, Sony hugely advertised this game (probably the PS3 game they advertised the most ever), so sales expectations got much higher.
I think people like Soriku or HappySquirrel would obviously have multiplied by 3 their original predictions if they knew the game would get such high reviews and such heavy advertising.
