| KBG29 said: This game has had a lot of mixed reactions from the people on gaming forums, but everyone that has actually played it can only praise it. I think that Sony's decision to make the sackboys the Playstations first real mascot is genious. The Playstation brand has always been about having something for everyone. Sony has never had a mascot that could truly represent it's agenda, but now with Sackboy thier is a mascot that can really show that Playstation is a product for everyone. Sony wants this game to push the Playstation, and they know they have something that can hit that casual audiance. This game will be marketed smartly in each region, with brands that are popular putting there stamp on it. So to join the crowd, "Little Big Planet Rocks My World" |
I'm not sure you understand the true genius of the "sackboy as PS3 mascot" idea. Sackboy can become anyone! So Sony is automatically getting a way to turn their mascot into the main character for ANY BIG GAME they want to promote! Except, like, GT5. Maybe. (If that's what you meant by 'showing them it's really a product for everyone', then I guess we're on the same page.)
Best of all, the SackCharacter will almost unavoidably be adorable. We've already seen this with Nariko. Even Kratos and the Helghast aren't far off the mark. Japan is obsessed with cuteness in general and cute mascots specifically, so this should help them a lot there if it works.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
