As a self-admitted Nintendo fanboy I'm very interested in seeing what LBP winds up doing. I picked it up this afternoon and had to be pried away from the TV after five or six hours by my wife. LBP is, IMHO, the best game available for the PS3 now, both on its own merits and in its broad, casual appeal.

Not sure any single game can be called a system-seller for the most expensive, 3rd place console, but LBP will give SONY a good boost. This game IS that good.

On the flip side, I'm going to enjoy the irony of seeing the hardcore fanboys explain LBP.. The same group that blindly hammered the Wii for its casual friendly platformers like Galaxy a year ago are all drooling over themselves in the LBP game ranking thread. That amuses me for some reason. :p

The same Wii fanboys that bashed shooters at every opportunity are now drooling over The Conduit. The same 360 fanboys that worshipped Mass Effect and practically swore off Japanese RPGs now love them because the 360 has the most. They are currently drooling over games that would've scoffed at a year ago. I find this all very amusing, actually.

 

And the same PS3 fanboys who drool over Killzone 2 for being graphically good while forgetting that it's just another run of the mill shooter with nothing going for it yet will never point it out.  Or the same 360 fanboys who continuously tell themselves that the 360 situation of RRODing is getting better when over time MS really hasn't done anything to help the situation despite ensuring you a warranty because they know the problem will persist.  Or the Wii fanboys who continue to bash the casual market in hopes it will backlash into more core support but then praise the good and best selling of the core efforts for helping and stabilizing their industry. 

This is what I find amusing.  Of course I'm not pointing out well known truths... still truths... but ones that aren't as well known.
