I highly doubt it wasn't on sale for a long time in the US (even though it isn't now) considering in the states you usually have better promos than in europe. I can go to any retailer now, here in Portugal, and get the game for 20 euros, and could as well when i lived in the Netherlands in 2008-early 2009. And let's not talk about the online retailers. In japan LBP sold almost nothing, so it's a non-entity.
Also, everyone knows Sony is bigger in Europe than the US. Seems like it, as it has a bigger PS3 base, and even LBP has sold more in Europe according to VGChartz. Don't know where your coming from with that.
System seller: a game with a massive marketing push behind it, that is considered a benchmark, award winning game, tied to a single platform that pushes a lot of hardware units. Usually they are also bundled heavily. Yep, looks like LBP to me. Of course, it needs to drive hardware sales, something that it didn't, so it's a "failed system seller".
Anyway, this was my last post, I have better things to do with my time than googling for links and discussing this. The facts speak for themselves, the marketing behind it and sales speak for themselves, the analists reports at the time speak for themselves, and the fans' attitudes at the time speak for themselves.
