Sony Touts PS3 Successes, LittleBigPlanet Sales

08.01.2009
Better than you heard, that's how well Sony's PlayStation 3-exclusive platformer has been doing according to Sony Computer Entertainment president Kai Hirai. During Sony's CES 2009 keynote, , Hirai boasted LBP sales of 1.3 million units since the game's launch in late October.

Add 300,000 user-created LBP levels and "two years" of cumulative play time to sweeten that snapshot.

You'd think everything was coming up roses for Sony with its fanfare about 17 million user accounts (2.1 in December alone) and 330 million pieces of content downloaded via the company's PlayStation Network.

Heard the PS3's ? Maybe not, or at least not if you put stock in branding. Sony laid claim to some 61.3 million combined PS3 and PSP sales.

Numbers, numbers, numbers!

And here's another: Hirai says Sony's recently released has been downloaded 3.4 million times already. He adds that Sony's sold about a million bucks worth of goods courtesy the fledgling virtual community.
