Maybe LittleBigPlanet will help and pave some of the road for cute lighthearted titles like this. The PS3 is already a living room multi-purpose multi-media device for watching movies and such, this for the whole family. According to a study 87% of PS3 owners watch Blu-Ray movies, so HDTV penetration and the amount of mature people amongst console owners seems very high. I guess the average mature male does have a girlfriend/wife and maybe some kids around and I'd imagine this could help. I know my girl loves stuff like this, we had tons of fun with a cute fun game like Super Ruba Dub as well.
I imagined this to be a PSN release (relatively cheap compared to full retail games) while watching this video, but having to pay online to download the game and having to own a Eyetoy to play this I think is somewhat of an obstacle for big sales at this point. But who knows what will happen in the meantime, there could be some factors enhancing the situation a bit, maybe Playstation Home will play a factor for example.
