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 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."

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.

I can't belive people are saying this is a flop. true it hasn't yet got the figures some fanboys were posting before release but it has sold very well.
anything over a million copies is a hit and the sales were keep on growing over the next couple of years.

Lmao i love how people think these sales are bad, jesus for a brand new exlusive IP they are god like, i think its because some fanboys cant deal with it being the highest rated exlusive of 2008, so they try go to sales

Hmm... so lets have a comparison of Xbox exlusives (note, im not a droid, i love my 360 but 360 fanboys are naive beyond belief)

Too Human: 0.5 Million Sold

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts: 0.47 Million Sold

Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise: 0.3 Million

Hmm...

3.2 -

If these figures for a new IP are god like...

Then how can we call the sales of Gears 1 back in 2006 with a much smaller installed base on the 360 back then (10 mln), compared to the installed base of the PS3 right now (17 mln.)?

Because that's how large Sony blowed up LBP to be.
Second, the games on the 360 you mention are allright, good games.
But LBP scored a 9.5 out of 10. One would imagine that from that 17 mln. users at least, I say AT LEAST 30% would buy the highest scoring exclusive on their platform, only one of two games scoring in two years after its release exclusive over 9 out of 10 in average reviews (Metacritic).

Its pathetic, really pathetic how the sales are. Just over a million. On 17 mln. users. It just shows PS3 owners in general bought the PS3 for the wrong reason. Not for playing games, but probably for playing BluRay movies. Pretty silly for a gameconsole first.
