This would only be Saturday only numbers? Seeing as how the weeks ends there?

i have no idea, what to make of this game at this point. There has been so much strange stuff going on with the callback, that it's hard to say. How ong was the game being sold before it got called back, one day or longer?

That might be the decisive question to assume if next weeks numbers will be greater o smaller.

wasn't it released today with only very few retailers releasing the game?

Yes, waiting until next week is probably the wisest thing to do, I think we'll have answers to all our questions by then.

This.

The recall was announced about a half a week before release.  Most stores complied with the recall, but not all, and some stores (GameStop) got in new copies of the game on Saturday, but only enough to fulfill pre-orders.

Pretty much. Saturday was when most stores were allowed to give it out.

I have no idea actually

I don't live in USA....I really dunno what the situation is....wha stores were selling LBP, what stores weren;t

we had some loose anecdotal evidence that some gamespots were selling pre-order copies.....but some gamespots weren't doing even that.

You see no-one has a clue about what happened to LBP in the past week store sales wise....its all very confusing

The way these things generally work is if one big chain (in this case EB) breaks street date, the others do within hours as well.

Sorry, but it looks like LBP is anything but huge.

Certainly not a bomb, but PS3 fanboys need to move onto the next saviour (unless LBP does something MONSTROUS in EU).
