I think he means LittleBigPlanet 1 only. (Including the free downloads from the outage). We have the LittleBigPlanet series at well over 9 million.

I think he meant the 2 PS3 titles, but there is no proof. We have no official numbers so this Thread is pure speculation

Possibly. But I don't see the benefit in excluding the handheld title. It seems like it would be relavent with the upcoming PSV installment. Besides, I doubt he would focus on only the PS3 titles without clarifying. That would be deliberatlely misleading.

That could be said of any bundled game, including Mario and Forza titles. No matter how much it was bundled, it didn't get to high numbers with bundling alone, so it's impressive regardless of the scale of it.

Try telling that to everyone else who complains about bundles having no worth.

LBP with a metascore of 95 is one of the best games of this generation, deserves every sale.

I'm sure he said 8 millions LEVELS created, not game sold.

This is just pure speculation. But for me it is the most probable. The first game has never sold not even shipped 8 million copies. I would bet everything I have on it. And if all of them have sold 8 million then VGChartz has huge tracking which was never the case.

LBP1 was given away for free during the PSN outage. Sony could be using those numbers to boost the 'sold' figures.

Ok that would be just pathetic to do.
