I think SMG is a better comparison for LBP. They are both flagships for their brand and have full backing by their systems.

Mario: One of the oldest characters in gaming and certainly the most recognizable, never had a poorly ranked game in the main series.

LBP: New IP.

 

Stupid comparison Fishy.

 

Well, Sackboy is the closest thing that Sony has to Mario right now. Both games are platformers as well.

I can think of many examples of new IPs intended to compete with established franchises. For example, Resistance was a new IP is often compared to Halo.

Its not close though, nowhere near as much brand recognition.
