@dbot: I agree.

I've given up on defending LBP, tbh. One day you guys will get to play the game, and then you'll be converted.

I find it really funny that Nintendo fans (fanboys?) make up such a vocal part of the LBP doubting crowd. This game should be right up there alley, much like it's right up mine.

In the end, the game will speak for itself, though.

 

A lot of people (like me) are not doubting whether this game will be good or not, but have been very vocal about how unrealistic sales expectations have become. The massive marketing and potential hype around this game should easily push it to 1 Million sales, but the current PS3 fanbase doesn't tend to embrace games that are not racing games, sports games or violent games so Little Big Planet is heavily limited in the level of sales it can achieve without the demographics of the userbase changing.

Now, breaking the Million sales barrier should be a reason to celebrate a game like Little Big Planet except that people have been hyping it as a 5+ Million (or 10+ Million in some cases) selling game which means that it will (likely) just be added to the list of "Failures" on the PS3 that are only "Failures" because of how overhyped they were.
