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.

That would have been great TBH.  But I think the big review boost for Uncharted 2 helped and general consensus the game had been 'hit out the park'.  LBP2 has great reviews but so did LBP so I think the uptake will be flatter - i.e. LBP2 will sell more than LBP over time but not a huge amount.

On a brighter note I've just created a UFO I can fly around, flash lights on/off, play music and bomb stuff with in LBP2.  The editor this time around is insane in the options it allows.  I do struggle with understanding why more people wouldn't love to try this stuff out - but that's the way it goes.
