Good game? Yes.
Good community? Questionable.
System seller? Not a chance.

This is all just hype trying to make you want the game more.

Explain, why its not a system seller. Its new, looks fun, kids can play it, hardcore gamers can play it. Heck, even girls can play it.

I don't see how this can apply to software and console sellers of  GTA IV. Halo, MGS4 since these appeal to alot of the hardcore gamers. If you can attract a more different group, it would sell more yes? Also this should boost up in Japan since they love cute stuff, the sackboys isn't creepy at all.

 

 

The idea of system sellers is just stupid.  Yes, there are those rare games like MGS4, SSBB, and Halo 3 that do sell systems but not every good game is a system seller.  If that were true the Gamecube would have outsold everything last generation.

LBP does in fact look like a great game that will capture the casual crowd, but there are a few problems:

  1. Do they know about the game?  Probably no.
  2. Sony is advertising this game on ESPN with sports game, bad idea.  Sports fans don't care about this game.
  3. While the people that scan message boards and game news sites for every bit of information know everything about this game and that it isn't only kiddy, everyone else doesn't.  The PS3 is a super hardcore system and LBP looks too kiddy for most users that don't know any better.  Sadly, that is going to be the majority of users.
  4. People don't like spending $460 for a single game. 

 

the gamecube didn't have GTA 3 GT 4 FFX KH FFXII God Of War Mgs2-3

it didn't have a chance.

 

as for lbp it all depends of sony its a great game, way better than most of the nintendo milked games wii sports wii fit wii play.

its well known it will sell alot  an move hardware, this one will probably have a good legs, mainly due the online.

I have to partially agree with this...

 

Those things are quite fun from the start... Until you see that it's crap after some time... They're raking in cash for such a glorified game. I don't know what to say but... That's about it.
