Doesn't matter it has sold 3 million, because:

1) it was heavily bundled

2) The game has been available for as little as $10-15 shortly after release, 3 million is a lot of copies, but at that price, not much money.

Just stop. Some of your points have already been debunked.

Lol stop being a fanboy. I'm merely stating fact. Besides the point you conveniently forgot to adress the second one, I obviously don't have facts, but I buy a crapton of games and monitor the market extensively to get nice prices for what I buy, i'd reckon 2/3s of LBP sales were bundles and 10-15 bucks.

The game isn't a flop, 3 million is great, but like i said, for all the buzz and marketing, not much return for money. At least for Sony, they were the ones that spent dozens of millions on advertizing, i'm sure Media Molecule is very happy with how the game did, with good reason.

And the final point, the game was marketed as a system seller and wasn't. Wii players have Mario, they don't care about LBP, Xbox and PC fans couldn't care less about a cute platform game, LBP is a good game but it's just not the be-all-end-all that Sony wanted you to believe, as usual.
