It's going to be hard for a non-game like LBP to stack up against traditional core games like Fallout 3, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Motorstorm, as well as more traditional casual games like Singstar, all on the same day.

Non-game?

lol @ you.

 

The definition from Wikipedia,

"The main difference between non-games and traditional video games is the apparent lack of goals, objectives and challenges.[2] This allows the player a greater degree of self-expression through freeform play, since he can set up his own goals to achieve."

LBP is a non-game.  Don't worry, it's not a curse word.

 

I can accept LBP is a non-game... But what will be Malstrom's reaction to such disruption coming from Sony instead of Nintendo??? 

 

I wouldn't call it disruptive, mainly due to the difficulty and pricepoint, it's going to mostly appeal to high-end gamers.  Imagine that, a non-game for hardcore gamers.    But LBP paves the way for disruption, if a company does it in a more mass-market friendly fashion.
