'LittleBigPlanet 2' user count tops original

The firm has said that the sequel has "massively outstripped" the number of concurrent online users seen in the original.
"Because we had the awesome beta, fan reaction we know about and we've had time to respond to. Now we're just excited to see how big it gets - how many people we're going to get," co-founder Dave Smith told Eurogamer.
"The user count is actually quite crazy - we've already massively outstripped our LBP1 record for total users online at once. And that's just with North America and a few other territories.
"I think some people [at Sony] would be waving certain things at me if I gave the actual numbers, but it's significantly higher."
He added: "In the next few days we might even double the number of users online at once. Perhaps - let's see how it goes."
LittleBigPlanet 2 was released worldwide last week.
