Zack and Wiki was a game that, because expectations were so low, received critical acclaim and sales which matched or exceeded most peoples' expectations.
From what I have seen, Little Big Planet is a game that, because expectations are so high, the critical acclaim and sales will end up being a disapointment for a lot of people. There was a lot of people who claimed that Little Big Planet was going to be the highest rated game of the generation at 98%+, and with how aggregate game reviews generally fall over time it will be lucky to stay over 90%; and there were a lot of people who claimed that Little Big Planet was going to sell 5+ Million (and in some cases 10+ Million) copies, when (realistically) it would be lucky to get half of that.
