Little Big Planet

Now before you start calling me a fanboy troll, don't get me wrong, I think it will be a fantastic game but I just don't think it's going to sell well. And even after release I don't think the community will be that awesome.

 

Totally agreed. The market is not there on the PS3 for this game to be successful.

 

I think we should wait till it is released before we make statements like that, unless of course you have met all 14 Million+ PS3 owners.


If the game gets enough advertising and the reviews to go with it, people will take notice.

Well, your profile says that you are 20, so you are a good candidate for this question. Now, without reading deeply into it, what is your choice of the following 2 movies to watch - Teletubbies or Transformers?

 

Teletubbies clearly

I'm not saying that LBP is gonna be a 5 Million+ hit, but we really don't know how the PS3 market is going to respond to this, as there is no really good comparison. LBP may not have that "hardcore" look to it, but I'm confident that most people will not look at the graphics and simply say "that game sucks, its for kids". I'm sure a large portion of PS3 owners have seen this game since it was announced at GDC 2007 and have (to some extent) followed its development.

Now this evidence is clearly anecdotal, but each one of my good friends that has a PS3 is pysched for this game and each person has their own preference in genre's. I think people see the nifty graphics, the multiplayer aspect, the great gameplay physics and get interested in it.
