LittleBigPlanet: 1.3 million sold, 300k levels created

Gamezine:

"LittleBigPlanet has sold 1.3 million copies worldwide, with over 300,000 levels created."
Updates:
[UPDATE] - It has been pointed out that the 1.3 million number is in fact in reference to the amount of unique gamers playing LittleBigPlanet online. Unless every LittleBigPlanet owner has an online account, then we can presume that the game has sold over 1.3 million.

I don't think Sony includes the bundles. Which many people bought with LBP.

What kind of a person tries to downplay a million-selling new IP's performance at retail? Bah humbug, this game is a hit, plain and simple.

Looks like this is well on its way to having great sales numbers. especially since its looking to beat all of Team Green's best exclusives, sales wise, except for the GEOW games

I think LBP is the greatest thing since toasted sanwiches. Love the game so much. Love making levels. Love Media Molecule.

Shame it hasn't sold as well as it could. But it's a sleeper. And it won't go away.

"1.3M? Should have sold alot more than that."

Banjoe Kazooie is already an established franchise, and I seriously doubt that even it has sold a million because Microsoft hasn't said anything about it recently. Even though Nuts and Bolts had literally no hype, I think Banjoe should have sold more because it is already an established Million seller franchise... but of course, we all know that Banjoe being on the Xbox 360 is holding back it's sales.

LBP selling over a million copies in about a month- month and a half is great, AND it's a new IP.

People need to stop calling LBP a flop just because it didn't sell a Million copies in a week despite the hype that it recieved.

LBP selling over a million and Banjoe on the 360 not selling a million to me just goes to show that more PS3 gamers are open minded to different types of games.

"More than 1.3 million "unique users" have played "LittleBigPlanet." Note that this is not the same as Sony saying it has sold 1.3 million units of the game. There are more than 300,000 user-created levels already. It would take two straight years, non-stop, to play them all."

DUDE, that is 1.3 million in little over one full month. How can that be bad? new IP in fall sells 1.3. New genre, people are sceptical to buy it, and still sells so well.

"Hirai also reveals that over 300,000 LittleBigPlanet levels have been created, which represents a total playing time of over two years. Now that's a staggering stat."

I just added that to emphasize your point enemy.

The Pokemon that Nintendo abandoned when compiling the original 150.

He turned to alcohol, drugs and magic potions and is now a bitter shell of who he once was. Don't pity him though, he violates ponies on a weekly basis.

IT COULD BE TRUE!!!

9 - I wonder how many of those 300k levels are actually fun...
I'm still on the story mode, as Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead have taken up a lot my free time recently, but I really hope there are a ton of custom levels when I get to that point.

LBP is definitely not a flop, but I believe it should have sold better than it actually did. Whatever, their loss.

300k levels, thats great that people are using the lvl tools. I wish I could come up with an awesome lvl. Everytime I log into the LBP community and play a few recent levels the quality just keeps getting better and better. Some lvls are really top notch and are on a par with Media Molecules own creations.

Doesnt make any sense..
1.3 million was some time ago.
It has sold about 1.8 million now.
Even VGChartz says it has sold 1.8 million.
But why would they say it has sold 1.3 when its 1.8?

Anyway, 1.3 is decent. It wasn't the console mover that some people here were looking for though.
