"Still, Hirai said it has added 2.1 million accounts in the last couple of months. He’s showing off a PS 3 exclusive game from November, LittleBigPlanet, and is praising its appeal to the mass market. It’s being played online now by 1.3 million people. There are now 300,000 levels available, thanks to user-generated content for this game. That’s pretty impressive."

They seem to claim the same thing as IGN.

 

Thank you.  An actual second credible source.  Which is what you need for your arguement to substantiate anything beyond a giant wall of every other site out there agreeing with you.

Godot has a point....

DJmesteir... not so much.

 

 Isn't that what djm has been saying though? That 1.3M people are playing LBP online not 1.3M sold to customer.

Nah, Kaz clearly stated it was sales worldwide. It also doesn't make sense for 1.3 million to play it online with only 17,000 hours played online. That means the average person has played the game for less than 1 minute. The numbers wouldn't add up. Not to mention, games like Halo 3 were played by around 1.5 million online and it sold 8+ million. Again, it wouldn't make sense.

As I already stated, the VGChartz numbers here over double the sales for October and November in America than what the NPD reported. We have to assume that the American numbers are completely off, then, and that is what is causing this disparity.
