It has several advantages over LBP:
1) It is cheaper
2) It is a established franchise
3) It was made by a well know and respected developer.
4) Previews and reviews praise it as one of the most innovative platformers ever, one that could move the genre forward
5) Some of the most reliable (and harsh) reviewers scored it with a 90+
LBP seems to have a very tough opponent. One of the early reviews said: "The combination of a surprisingly lengthy single-player game and a robust multiplayer mode make this one game that just about anyone can enjoy (...) the ability to create and operate custom vehicles -- both online and off -- make Nuts & Bolts a unique, entertaining spin on the everyday platformer".
If this game scores higher than LBP on Metacritic and Gamerankings it might steal more than some of its sales.

Would not surprise me if it beats it in sales, as there are a lot of people such as myself who just can't wait to get a piece of that nostalgia, but don't quote me though. Platformers in general are probably more on the hardcore gamer side now adays. If it is received even halfway as well as other old Rare franchises along with the low price and this economy it might just be a hit regardless of reviews.

Are you serious? With the turn the franchise has taken I'd be surprised if it broke a million lifetime.
