LBP was at £15 on amazon a few weeks after its launch in UK

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.

 

 

 

I have said many times before, LBP probably made the most pure profit for SONY/its devs out of all the exclusive PS3 games released thus far, barring GT5 Prologue

It was a typo. I meant 5-7 million, at least, and possibly 10 million or more. I think that was a reasonable expectation given the circumstances of the game that it has failed to live up to.
