Littlebigplanet.. the next killer app for ps3

fooflexible said: Am I the only one that thinks Home appeals mostly to hardcore gamers? The whole trophy system is obviously designed for people playing alot of games and winning them. Someone always on and chatting rearranging furniture in your virtual home, and getting your avatar just right sounds like alot of involved and somewhat complex features, I think it sounds to complicated for casual players. Casual players want simple fun games they pop in and play. I think Home looks a bit daunting to them. And just to clarify I like Home alot, I'm excited to try it when I eventually get a ps3, and I feel it appeals to me becuase I am a hardcore gamer.

Yeah, I pictured Home for hardcore players more then casual, but then the Wii sort of redefined "casual" (I now picture grandparents playing when I read casual). Calling LittlebigPlanet a Killer app would be like calling Viva Pinata a Killer app. Both are for players who get tired of shooting stuff and want a break. It will not sell PS3's alone. Also let's not forget that casual players don't buy $600 systems. Edit: correction - Casual players who live with a wife or girlfriend don't buy $600 systems.
