LittleBigPlanet (PS3) 47.000 [47.000]

If that number seems low, that's because, well, it is. HOWEVER! Let us not forget that youtube and myspace had to start out somewhere too!

:bow Year of the PS3 :bow2

Didn't games like Final Fantasy X sell 2.5M copies first week on the PS2?
Just wait for FF13 and White Knight Story.

470 000 copies would be something but 47 000? That's a "world-shattering" record? Come on. Gears 2 will sell that much in 1 hour.
Maybe Oblivion is being sarcastic? :o

Honestly, LBP seems exactly like something that would be pretty popular with a select group of people in Japan (just check out various Japanese forums or Nico Nico Douga), but I doubt the majority would ever jump on board.  It LOOKS like a mainstream game, but really is anything but.

That is actually good news.  I could understand why other Wii games have succeeded, but Wii Music seems like one big joke Nintendo is playing on everyone.

It's great news because it means people have rejected Nintendo's concept of a "music" game and my Simon says gameplay with plastic toy instruments and brightly colored buttons lives on.

Well Sony Worldwide vice prez did say that social gaming isnt a hit in Japan like in Europe or even the US. So these sales are pretty good n stuff.
