My point here is that LBP planet is something that Sony has that is ENTIRELY different from what Microsoft is offering. GT5, FFXVIIILM is only going to do so much to set itself apart from what Microsoft can come out with on their end.
Now sure, MGS4 is also a PS3 exclusive, but just looking at it, what does it do differently from every other game on HD consoles? Letsee, pushes realistic graphics, check, shooting at stuff, check, big cutscenes, check, etc. Now obviously there is more to it than that, but I'm talking about the guy who has not already followed Sony and MGS4 religiously and suddenly sees it in a store. those are the things that person is going to notice first, and they're going to see it everywhere else as well.
LBP is entirely different, from the very moment you look at it, or see someone else playing it, you can tell it's different from everything else on that system and all of the competitors' systems. that is the type of game that will draw in people that actually increase sales in the long run. That's what gave the Wii its success, and provided LBP is successful in this, it'll do the same for Sony.
The only issue is if it is successful or isn't. If it isn't successful, I don't think developers are going to attempt anything this creative for Sony in the future. There will be other games, sure, highly anticipated games, sure, but not the games that will drawn in NEW gamers that actually INCREASE PS3 sales rates so that they can catch up with Microsoft.
