LBP 2 sales suffered from the 2011 psn takedown.
It was one of the games sony gave for free to people affected by the hackers(infamous 2 was also affected)
And even with this,the sequel is probably sitting on the 4 million level(physical + digital) maybe more if vgchartz is undertracked.
Dark souls is multiplatform,it have 3 times the install base of Little big planet(PS3+360+steam)

LBP is also a bundled game. Its sales are inflated. Dark Souls did not have bundles, still moved two million units on a single console and over a million elsewhere, and is still a niche title. Sales are not what define the status of a game from niche to not-niche when bundles are involved. I do not consider LBP to be a mainstream title, I consider it to fill a nice niche in the playstation catalog.
This is woefully off-topic.

Not that I really care about this back and forth, but I do have a question. What defines a mainstream game? At what point do sales say 'mainstream' versus 'niche', if we're talking 5+ million units...how is that mainstream? And really, when you get down to it, aren't there like a paltry handful of games that could be considered, as such? Gran Turismo, CoD, BF, TLOU, GTA, Halo? Even then...none of those games even sell to half their user base...so I'm just curious how people define mainstream?
