| Kantor said: Fable II has a lot more anticipation than LBP. LBP will also be a PSN download, saving you the 20 bucks for a blu-ray disc. I guess a lot of PS3 owners are afraid of seeming 'casual' by buying LBP. They'll get it when it comes out and they see the awesome scores. |
Where did you get that idea?? LBP will be a BR only sale as it uses the full capacity (40gb) of a BR disk:
Q: And it weighs in at about 40GB?
Alex Evans: Erm, yes - I believe a Blu-ray single layer is 20GB and a dual layer is 40GB, but we're filling up the Blu-ray.

LBP is truly a wild card as its success depends entirely on how much the community embrace its user created content capacity. Despite being friendly to casual, it has the potential to reach an extremely hardcore audience similar to popular pc game amd their mod community.
Fable is a far less riskier bet due to its previous fanbase and more convention gameplay, it is almost gauranteed to beat LBP on launch simply because the nature of LBP requires momentum...
I really hope LBP is a success story, the industry needs innovation, not just endless sequals being regurgitated by big name publishers no matter how good they might be.
