Oh noes again! People either have to trust Variety, the very publication people have been damning for months, or say it's sold! I love scotch

There's a difference between trusting their opinion, and trusting their citation of somebody else. :P
Either way, Variety makes three different plubications saying similar things.
-More than 1.3 million "unique users" have played "LittleBigPlanet." Note that this is not the same as Sony saying it has sold 1.3 million units of the game. There are more than 300,000 user-created levels already. It would take two straight years, non-stop, to play them all.
And they even pointed that out specifically because sites like GameSpot have translated that figure as meaning 1.3 million copies sold.
VentureBeat.com:
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
IGN:
9:44: Hirai talks PSN. 17 million registered accounts all over the world. 2.1 million new accounts in the last month. Talks about LittleBigPlanet as great example of Sony's PSN flexibility in motion. Says 1.3 million people playing LBP. 300,000 levels online Brief demo.
Face it, you lost your bet.
