LittleBigPlanet Wins Another UK Sales Award

Gamezine:

"A whole host of video games won UK sales awards in the month of December, including the PlayStation 3's LittleBigPlanet.

Last month we reported on the achievement of LittleBigPlanet reaching one-hundred thousand copies sold in the UK. The revelation was provided by ESPLA Charttrack's sales awards, which are given out monthly to video games that reach certain milestones.

Reporting on the news was meant to calm the fears of PS3 fans who believed that their beloved title wasn't performing at retail. The fears were fuelled by poor chart positions and rare advertisements from Sony.

LittleBigPlanet has now been awarded ESPLA's Gold Award."

1 - Good to hear
I'm sure Media Molecule was really worried, what with all the internet fanboys telling them that their game is a flop, despite it reaching sales marks such as this one. ;)

Here's hoping the game continues its consistent pace. It's definitely one of those titles that has a good pair of legs to it.

1.1 - Why would they be worried but wat brainless fanboys have to say
They already said that they already turning profites on game, and with the sales of DLC am sure they making lot of money from it.

The fanboys could say whatever they want to say.
This game is selling, will continue selling, and is far from being a flop.

I think we were all a bit surprised about LBP having a slow start, but no one is surprised the distance that this game is going!

1.5 - LBP is evil!!
don't be blinded by the cute look of sackboys/girls because they are KILLERS! (I'm saying this in the best way I can!) I don't know how many hours I've put into LBP but this devil made me still haven't finish Motorstorm2, Resistance2, Burnout Paradise and lack the time to play SOCOM!! I was planning to play MGS4 for the 4th time but it seems like LBP is somehow made me always forget about it! argh...I need more play time!

I will tell you exactly WHY it has legs.

It's not because of the user-generated content bringing something fresh every time you play.

It's not because of the awesome MGS expansion pack.

It's because you go round someone's house, play the game with them for hours on end, and have a fantastic time. Moreso than you would playing call of duty 1-on-1 split-screen with no bots. It's a joy to play with friends it really is. Then they will consider getting it themselves.

I don't know how many people simply overlook the fact that this game is possibly the most fun offline multiplayer experience to come out this year. The haters just say "but I don't like creating and user generated content sucks", neglegting the fact that it's so fun.

Due to the nature of the game it may have the best legs in history. We will see in the future.

Over 200k in UK? How much would that make Europe? I'd say around 600k. Plus the US...well over one million now?

4.1 - Fanboys
Made me see some very high expactions in this game, and since Christmas day i haven't played it again, i found that you just play it to see what people have created but other than that its nothing,

But on the other hand it is a very creative game and does deserve everything it gets,

Sackboy has to be the best Character of 2008 lol

6.1 - hmmmm..
Thanks for enlighting us all on your game preference. Maybe i should go around all the fansites of the football clubs i hate and tell them of my hatred. Of course, i aint a complete retard, so i won't. I highly doubt you've fallen asleep playing it to be honest, unless you hardly sleep as it is or have some sort of disorder. Either way, you spent your money on a game you dont enjoy and have 'fallen asleep' twice (surely the first time you would have fallen asleep would have been an indication that you aren't enjoyin it)...the phrase 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me' springs to mind

Regardless of what single-minded folk like yourself think of the game, and regardless of how many units its pushed, its a game that has deserved all its awards and merit it has got from the gaming world. Its far too easy for developers to use the same ol' game engine to recreate the same ol' first person shooter, but with different aliens. Games like this broaden the gaming industry, and i'm sure glad LittleBigPlanet has delivered in a way many, many games haven't

Especially if they keep adding DLC. Should add a Resident Evil DLC, that would be coo. Take out dem zombies with my paint gun.
