@ soundwave, over 2m for LBP, 1.6m for R & C aint bad, but they aren't massive hardware movers as you say. But Kingdom Hearts is a big game, it will sell at least 3m on PS3 alone, especially with an enlarged JP install base due to FF XIII and V XIII. KH is an established IP, and will move some consoles, and I am sure there is a cross over between FF fans and KH fans

The last installment sold a 3.1 million units on the PS2. And that was on a immense installbase. If it comes to the PS3 and that's a huge, mega, super if. The PS3 has the smallest installbase and doesn't appeal to the youth who would actually buy the game. You know, colorful 'Disney' games.

Well, 3.69m, with the EU sales not properly tracked, I would bet it is over 4m. The first one sold 5.5m, so we know that people do like this game. We have also seen that you do get declining sales of a franchise through a generation, like GT, so this one should be a good seller.

Now, of course install bases do matter, but as I said, I think there is an overlap between FF fans and KH fans, so after FF XIII and V XIII there should be a decent fanbase, especially in Japan.

Now, as for the "casual" audience, it is certainly not really there yet, but KH is not really a casual game, it is a very good RPG, just with a slightly babyish theme (munny). Sony do have games like EyePet coming, as well as a price cut, which should boost casual hardware sales, so in a year's time, the picture might be completely different
