Why though?  It's LBP with knobs on - and LBP is my favourite game this gen - but why would that make it sell so much more than LBP?  I was expecting approx 500K launch and that's close enough.  LBP is still there and so are it's 3 million plus levels - people were never going to en masse shift from the LBP community to LBP2, it'll happen steadily over time, which should give LBP2 good legs.

I expected a Uncharted to Uncharted 2 like boost. Maybe I was silly thinking that but... Meh.

It's been advertised a LOT. It's the sequel to a game that sold over 4 Million units. I just expected more for the launch. It will probably have long legs though, no doubt there.

An Uncharted to Uncharted 2 boost would have been over 2.1 million (with Japan).  So yeah, I'd say that would be pretty silly.
