Whats your excuse for it selling over 60k ? 20k more than last week in the U.S?

Because of bundles in the U.S that dont exist?

Holidays.

lol.

So the game is only selling because of the holidays and bundles.

>_>

No one is actually buying the game, and current PS3 owners aren't buying the game either.  Every unit sold is a new unit bundled with a PS3, and every unit sold in America is sold to Christmas shoppers.

mmmkay.

 Its hilarious to see these responses. The 2nd week of sales threads poped up left and right talking about how LBP sales aren't huge. and "It will be lucky to break a million in a year" and "LBP doesn't have legs." and "LBP will drop off charts in a few weeks"

And all these posters knew about christmas. It's not like Christmas was kept a secret.  But now LBP proved them wrong and now "But but but CHRISTMAS!"

Seriously...

Yup.  That's the hilarious part.

It's be lucky to pass 1 million, apparently, but now everyone wants to use Christmas as an excuse as to why it's selling good.  Also these people knew that LBP would be bundled in EU, but now bundling is used as an excuse for sales when people said the game was falling out of the EU charts.

The hypocrisy is astounding, and saddening at the same time.  

If it did bad, the responses would have been "Told you so", "I knew this wasn't huge," and the like, and the moment the game started doing good, it was: "Holidays", and "ZOMFG, bundles,".  This game was damned if it did, and damned if it didn't.
