I wonder what Sony were thinking when they thought it would become their 'biggest title this year', 'absolutely huge'.

And I wonder what they ARE thinking now, especially Media Molecule. The devs should have avoided going exclusive with lunatics who lost touch with reality losers. I'm sad that SCEE owns the whole IP and the world won't see it on not so "worthy" system. Well, at least this serves them right, hopefully others won't make such a mistake in future.

This post just reeks of pure SONY bashing..... And whenever I PM a mod nothing happens.... :S
You make it sound like Media Molecule lost money... With over 730K sold am pretty damn sure MM is raking in profit right now.
And WTF is a "worthy" system?? What system is "worthy" of this game to you???? The 200 green box with a Publisher that's bearly in trying to improve thier first party standing and instead just wedge thier way into the hearts of 3rd parties??? The one that IMO seems really desperate to keep a 2nd place lead after an over 1.5 year headstart over both it's competitors????
Or the console that can't even run the game straight from the get go because of the games 720p Native Resolution???
EDIT: Yes, I just attacked both other systems... If you can attack a system, so can I.

MM may be making a profit on the development costs, but LBP has been one of the most heavily advertised games this year, or even this generation. That shit is expensive and it wouldn't surprise me if overall it runs at a break even or even a loss, especially if they end up bundling worldwide it to help move consoles and increase it's total ownership and accordingly increase it's brand name by getting people to play it. When they include it in a bundle they don't always get any extra income from the game.
I know it's already being offered as a free game when you buy a PS3 in Europe/Others, plus the bundles in Japan, so when they are already losing money on the console and now have to include a free game, many of the sales already are for no income, so it certainly isn't going to be a cash cow.

Agreed. Are they really offering it for free in Europe? That's rather sad considering it just got released in the territory...
