Interesting read from Cinemablend.com

  LittleBigPlanet would probably be considered the biggest, most anticipated game of the year for the PS3. Fans were estatic about the game; gaming blogs and publications were already hailing Sackboy and Sackgirl as the next Mario and Luigi; and Sony seemed to put enough interest into the game to promote it as the next mascot-based title for the PlayStation brand. However, things didn't seem to look quite as grand when the NPD results were released, and LittleBigPlanet looked more like a single-A title rather than a triple-A system seller.

While Sony managed to move more than 200,000 units of the game for the PS3 -- which is impressive if it were a game made by a no-name developer and published by an even lesser known publisher -- it looks a little bleak when compared to the million-units-sold mark that Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, GTA IV and other titles managed to achieve within a few weeks. 

 

 

Umm did they forget about MGS4?

Also, Far Cry 2?  The same Far Cry 2 that didn't make the top 10 despite coming out earlier than LBP (besides the retailers who sold it early)?  And is barely above LBP on the PS3 and 360 combined, despite having a couple extra weeks in others.
