Yeah both titles have excelled expectations 

Must be the FF7 remake level. :p

well if the initial month and a half is good the legs will likely be better especially on a more dominant system than last time.  Same logic applies to PS4 and Sony's traditional legs.  They're just covering their weaknesses while still obviously going to enjoy the traditional strengths.

I'm kind of wondering where all these sales (particularly in the US) came from unless December NPD shows some serious growths from November, or the bundle really took off... but not even Amazon's rough correlation supports that idea.

EU's is also hard to believe given how its charted on the charts outside of the UK where its done better.

Great sales

Put the game back in earlier, and I may have to retract my recommendation until a latter date. Sumo still hasn't fixed all the bugs - I'm astonished the embarrassing bug during the final boss still exists. (Toggle goes invisible when he switches to small size, and after a few deaths he appears...as a generic Sackboy.) Is this nitpicking? I dunno, but it certainly put me off playing for a while.

Usually terrible first weeks and good legs, with decent Holiday's boosts. They are normally bundled too.

Really, really good legs.

LBP sold more in 2014 than 2013 (328k -314k). If the first game is still tracked correctly, it may even reach 6 million eventually.

LBP 2 has also shown very strong legs, ~200k in 2014 with apparently incomplete EU data.

Between the 3 versions on PS3 it will sell over 10 million units.

14.6 million units so far and counting, for a new IP.

And we have to add LBP Vita that actually reached 1M with beastly legs.

OP did not ask your opinion about whether you like this game or not and he is just taking about LBP3 sales.
