Why will a figure for a 2.5D platformer with a level editor "kill" an iconic video game figure who has been around more than a quarter century?
Answer: it can't.
Basically, LBP looks very nice. But will it sell a lot of new consoles -- that is the question. Personally, I doubt it will have a long-term effect. Nothing this generation has really changed the game since all the consoles were released. And I can't see a game that just has the vibe to me of critical success, commercial so-so doing that.
Remember, to be a commercial success, the game has to appeal to those people who buy 2-3 games a year, not 2-3 games a month like the posters here. If we were the judge, the attach rates for consoles would be nearer to 50 rather than less than 10.

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
