Littlebigplanet.. the next killer app for ps3

[HappySqurriel]

I could be wrong, but Home and Little Big Planet seem to be products that are designed to (mostly) apeal to casual and non-gamers who would be interested in social gaming experiences ... Now, if these were products on the PS2 or Nintendo DS I could see them being very successful in this market because spending $200 and getting system with a game seems reasonable to a lot of non-gamers ... The PS3 is currently priced as an enthusiast machine and is unlikely going to come down to a mainstream price before either of these products launch; the result is that Little Big Planet is going to have less than impressive sales and will probably not move that many systems. I guess you could think about it this way … Would Brain Training and Nintendogs have been as popular on a $250 system as they were on a $150 system? Probably not, that girl who bought here DS with Nintendogs and later picked up Animal Crossing would have probably seen Nintendogs and thought “That’s cool”, checked out the price of the systems and spent her money on something else.
