For me LBP has the same problem as Viva Pinata. Yes, sack boy is cute (just as pinatas). Yes, its offer cute colorful world (just like Viva Pinata). Yes, its has a new and innovative gameplay (just like VP).So what? Its look kiddish! I'm 30 years old male, you can't tempt me with little sack boys and a platform game. The biggest audience for such kind of games are on Nintendo console. Anyway I still think LBP can sold more then Fable 2, cos casuals, kids and ps3 fanboys are > then 360 WRPG fans.

 

NOT TRUE. thanks to ridiculous price of ps3, sony console doesn't have kids nor casual gamers. and casual gamers will not buy overpriced console for one game and BD player when they can buy same console and multimedia device with 5 games for half ps3 price and they can buy wii for 250$.

besides oblivion and mass effect each sold more than 2mln copies on 360 so far and first fable sold 2.6mln on xbox.

LBP will be milion seller but it will sell similar or even worse than first viva pinata on 360 thanks to no casual gamers and kids on ps3 while fable 2 should hit at least 2mln mark especially since this game is exclusive for 360, is from established IP and will be hyped pretty hard by microsoft.

We will see. May be you are right. Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD sold only 1.31m copies and I can say it's a great kiddish game. On the other side Oblivion sold 2.54m and Mass Effect 2.00m. All this catroonish like games have the same problem - they are not on Nintendo console. There is a big chance that LBP, Viva Pinata 2 and Banjo N&B can have the same fate.
