I seriously think we have undertracked LBP in Europe.

I mean its outsold MGS4, Pro Evo 2008 and 2009 in the UK. Plus every other PS3 game that has sold 300,000 in the UK, has sold over 1.5M in Europe.

First off, LittleBigPlanet is a game that has a lot more appeal in the UK than the titles you mentioned. Britain tends to lean towards Fifa. Second off, it should be quite obvious by now that these numbers aren't exactly up to date.

 

 

 What makes LBP appeal so much to the British that it gets about 1/3 of its sales from the UK, when the PS3 only gets about 1/5 of its sales from the UK?

The bolded just backs up my point doesn't it? If these numbers aren't up to date, then LBP has sold even more...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. LittleBigPlanet was created by a British developer, has a British narrator, and has old style platforming gameplay. It has a bit more British appeal than Pro Evolution. The UK is generally a more front-loaded market with higher attach rates than other countries in Europe. And when I said that the numbers were outdated, I was talking about other titles. Namely, the ones that have sold 300k in the UK on this list and 1.5 million or more in the rest of Others.

He's only the narrator in English, other languages have their own narrators.

As you pointed out, there is no sales award between 300k and 600k so these games could be anywhere between, but the later they passed the lower they're likely to be. The date at the end shows the month the milestone was achieved.
