In Japan it will coincide with 80GB release, LBP and Gran Turismo Prologue bundles. I think that 30k isn't too high prediction for Japan.

TOOOOOOOOOOO LOW.

thats what the ps3 will sell next week without new games.

i expect WW to go a bit over 180k

750,000 NA
850,000 Others
300,000 Japan

divide all of these by 100 = answer

^ correction...divide by 10...derp!!

160,001 worldwide. That 1 at the end is for no reason.

65k Americas
13k Japan
75k Others

153k Worldwide on LBP week

EU: 78000
US: 66000
JAP: 14000

Total: 158k

This is all up to how well Sony sells the game. If they sit back and do the "our games sell themselves, and we believe word of mouth is the best advertising you can get", then expect Little Big Planet to sell like every other first party Sony exclusive. I am saying the normal Sony plan yeilds them;

USA 70k
EU 85K
Japan 20K
Total 175K

Most of that boost wiil be due to the Holiday sales starting to pick up, and this is from a Sony fanboy. If they can not get their act together and market this game the right way, then Sony can sit in third place for the rest of this generation. I have grown sick and tired of crap games outselling great PS exclusives, just because EA, UBisoft, Rockstar, THQ, and the rest of the gaming world understand that you can not through a product into the market and expect it to make you money.

Now if Sony is to actually give this game its credit, and market it like they would a movie like Spiderman, or the way Nintendo or Microsoft market the games they want to be recognised then we have a differant story. Sony says they want Sackboy to be the PS mascot, then they need to prove it. They had better have a deal with McDonalds to give sackboys and sackgirls out with all their kids meals. Coca-Cola or Pepsi had better have a deal with them to include a free themed level with the purchase of a 12 or 24 pack. The TV had better have commercial on every kids channel, and during primetime TV. Movie theaters need to have a Creat.Play.Share video showing how Little Big Planet is a game that everyone can express themselfs, and you can play levels from others that have the same taste as you.

This is the kind of marketing they have to have for a game that is supposed to become the face of Playstation. The dev team that made this game is only l30 or so guys, so this game had to be somewhat cheap to make by todays standards. Money needs to be spent to sell this game, and make it great, and if Sony is willing to do what is nessicary I see somthing like so;

USA 130K
EU 175K
Japan 70K
Total 375K

I was in the Beta, and I know from experiance that this gam is special. The gaming press knows this game is special. If Sony gets the ball rolling, and builds up some mass market intrest in this game week one can be great. After that word of mouth is going to kick in and this game has the potintial to give the PS3 a very nice holiday season. If Sony fails to get this thing on its feet, and trys to let this thing go based on internet populatirty, then there really is no hope for the PS3.

ehhhhh well ill say like 170k 180k ww?

Not amazing... Um... 150000 at the smallest, 170000 at the most. The PS3 isn't casual and despite what PS3 fanboys say, LBP was trying to be casual.
