*sighs * why do people keep missing the point? I'm wondering if it's deliberate, or if it's just months of having these types of arguments ingrained.
NO ONE GAME WILL EVER "MAKE THE DIFFERENCE"
It's just not going to happen. There's no point in even discussing it. It's been harped on with every single upcoming release and it NEVER is any different. Some make 3 weeks of difference, some 5, some even manage a couple months, but they all drop right back down after the initial surge.
HOWEVER, when I mention Little Big Planet, I am NOT saying that it ALONE will RAISE the sale rate of PS3s in ANY LONGTERM BASIS. I never said or implied that. What I have intended to point out from the very beginning is that Little Big Planet is the TYPE of game that, provided that it does well, could INDICATE whether FURTHER "non-hardcore" games could ALSO be successful on that system.
If this can happen, and Sony can bring more of these "casual" games into its library, then PS3 could shed its image of just being another hardcore console that's more expensive, and be viewed as a console that can successfully do both hardcore AND casual games.
I think doing this would do 100x more for the PS3 than ANY single game, and even half a dozen "hardcore" games.
That's why I believe that the success of LBP will be THE indicator of whether PS3 can pull ahead of the 360.
