That's a bad example if you're trying to prove a point... People, including myself, expected the game to sell AT LEAST -75 million copies and perhaps even 10 million units or more based on all the hype and marketing alone and the fact that it was a platformer with a metacritic score that was comparable to that of a Mario game. So no, I can't imagine anyone seriously considering LBP a big success given the context of its launch. Had it been some under-advertised indie game or something then sure, it was a huge success...But it wasn't. It wasn't a monumental failure either, but its sales are moderately underwhelming.
