I don't know about this. I still have not seen a LBP commercial. Sony said they would get behind it once they saw how well it did. I do not recall seeing anything related to how much they spent on an ad campaign, nor did I see any huge "to-do's". If you can show this marketing push, I'm sure it will make a much better argument for the "pro-flop" side of the argument, but nobody has this figure, and the only stuff I have seen that even resembles a "marketing push" is a bunch of press releases that got popularized by this and many other gaming sites.

..
huge advertisemen on the walls of the Leipzig Game Convention, big sections of their stand devoted to it.
Billboards in the train stations and the public transport stops over here
Advertizing on the tv (the one with people watching in slowmotion where games are shown in a reflection in the mirror, a puddle or a window)
Advertizing separately for LBP on tv too
No idea where you live, but that game got pushed quite decently in ads.
