NPD software data obtained by Gamasutra has confirmed that Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet has sold over 600,000 units in North America since its launch in October 2008.
Sales of the critically acclaimed platformer in the territory now stand at 611,000, with December proving a particularly strong month for the title, shifting 255,000 units over the holiday season.
Meanwhile, Insomniac shooter Resistance 2 has clocked up a total of 598,000 sales since blasting onto retailers last November, while Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots stands at 1.076 million following its launch in June 2008.
On the flip side, Eidos’ latest entry in the Tomb Raider franchise turned in a disappointing performance, selling just 246,000 units in the U.S. across PS3, Xbox 360 and PC following its debut in November 2008.
Prince of Persia fared slightly better, shifting 483,000 units since its launch on December 2, though was by no means the critical and commercial success many had forecast.
