VICE magazine and Little Big Planet = LittleBigVice
I picked up this weird-cute little copy of VICE magazine as overtaken by LittleBigPlanet in my local coffee shop today.
There're Sackboy fashion shoots...
... fake Sackboy ads for perfume and clothing... and all sorts of other LBP-related stuff. Sackboy wearing American Apparel knickers!
It's actually pretty sweet, but wow it seems Sony are betting the entire farm on this game, eh?
I'll get the PS3-LBP bundle in the new year, I suspect. Most expensive game purchase ever ;-)
You're aware of how badly LBP is tanking, sales-wise?

A million sales already with 60% of users creating content, no? Sony guy is on stage at the Media Festival today, and Dan Hon's tweeting...

I'm googling for more now, but seeing as it's a PS3 exclusive, these are good figs, no? If it were cross-console, I'd expect way more of course.

VGchartz is saying it's barely passed 0.8m, which given the sheer amount of publicity behind it is surprising.
And surely by now we know better than to believe any numbers from Sony?

Hmm, 17m global sales of PS3s, so yes, sub 1m sales not so good. Maybe give it time though, xmas is round the corner. Although no-one to date will have bought the PS3 to play cutesy games like LBP, so either LBP will broaden its market, or.. ouch.

I hope it does well, I love this game

actually it's doing well kid. 215k in 4 days in the u.s...

Using VGChartz as a source is not advisable, NPD Group actually does the retail counts at the end of each month. The number for Oct. wasn't high, but that's really after 4 days of sales. VGChartz "estimates" numbers at their discretion.

LITTLEBIGPLANET Doing Take Over........
Sony should be happy they did not skip on LBP what a little big treasure its turning out to be. it amazes me to see how many people who wont to see this game fail.
