Good sales. Didn't do as sony expected but still 3 million is a big accomplishmet. Not my game though

I knew as soon as I saw your avatar that this post wouldn't be positive, and I was right.

Can you substantiate this claim? Provide a link to where Sony revealed their sales target for the game?

It's obvious that you're just trying to take the game down a notch with some vague notion of massive expectations, and hoping that no one calls you out on it.

Media Molecule exec Alex Evans:

“I'm really happy with the sales, because I know how few games turn a profit so quickly. It's a double edged sword. I think a lot of the disappointment comes from hard times and the recession, and then the fact that there was [sic] so many insanely big games that came out at once. There's all these different reasons that you could be disappointed with the sales and look at it that way, or you can say we kept pace with the Fallouts etc. Every other game that we were keeping pace with was a third or fourth iteration, and this is our first one.”

Well I know at least someone is happy with the sales and the fact it turned a profit really fast. This was in January, back when the game was probably around 2M in sales.

 

Edit -

 

Actually at CES '09 Kaz Harai announced that LBP sold around 1.3M copies of LBP if I am not mistaken, so yes, I would say they are very pleased with the sales now at 3M.
