That's assuming every single person that bought the game is playing it online, you prepared to make that argument?

 

We could estimate 70% of users go online...

Its the PS3, free online and wifi would translate into a pretty high rate of users online.... Add the fact that user generated content is LBP's bread and butter.

But that doesn't change the fact that Kaz said 1.3 million UNIQUE users have played LBP. Wouldn't most people playing LBP at home have a friend or two join them to play just to try it out? I thought LBP big selling points was that it was a Friendly Family Coop Game that you play online for unlimited amount of gameplay??

But you have no evidence for it to be 70%, you're just guessing, and then you'll be guessing at how many people made PSN accounts for their friends to play LBP (because there is a "guest" option which would not show as a different PSN user).  So in the end you can tell absolutely jack crap about the overall sales for LBP using this number other then it probably being more than 1.3 million and probably less than say 2.6 million (because probably more than 50% of people who buy it go online).

 

hehe, you call me out saying I have no evidence then you throw in your guess without any evidence either....

Same with your 1.3 to 2.6 million guess...

I'm saying more copies of LBP have been used by multiple PSN accounts then LBP copies never used online, you're arguing the opposite.

But you're right, we don't have any evidence.

I just think that the LBP (which is supposedly centered around coop and online) would have more then 1.3 million "Unique" users with 1.8 million copies sitting in peoples living rooms.

There's a difference between giving a gigantic range that 1.3m could mean and trying to nail down what it means.  I am saying that it is foolish to try and guess at a percentage and then say what the number of LBP copies really is based on this statement, all you can tell is a wide range of possibilities based on different guesses for the number of people using online.
