LittleBigPlanet has today been awarded a Platinum Sales status by industry group ELSPA, meaning the title has now sold over 300,000 units in the UK.
300,000 units in the UK alone, for a new IP launching during the busy Christmas period - is really great news. It comes just a few weeks after it was revealed that sales in North American had reached 610,000.
Christmas is always a competitive time of year to launch a game. Recent sales figures for multi-platform titles Mirrors Edge and Dead Space - both also new IP’s, show they’ve shifted just over 1 million units last year. LittleBigPlanet has surged past 1.3 million unique users playing online and is rumoured to be at the 2 million sales mark worldwide. An impressive feat for a new IP, exclusive to a single platform.
