People are never going to see LBP as a success

No matter how good the game does commercially (1.3 million sold in 8 weeks), or Critically (metacritic if 95) the game will never be seen as a success.  It's a shame too, since the game is so freaking awesome.  

This community would rather downplay the game's success, and call the game a failure because of the hype (not the game's fault), rather than look at it on it's own merits, a new IP, which sold really well on the PS3 and has that high of a metacritic average.  We'd rather look at this game as not a success, and continue playing Generic Shooter A, Madden 2020, and Traditional turned based JRPG 1,922,498, instead of praising a new IP for doing something different and what some would call innovative. 

So I am never going to defend the game again, and neither should you 

It's a success commercially, and critically, and that's all that matters.

Aaaah, he brings the cat back! and continues to "defend" LBP.

I started out as a mild "hater" of LBP cause I bought the game, didn't fall in love with it right away, and you, with your "LBP will be Huge", and others, were such a pain with hyping LBP that I did feel sales weren't up to expectations. But now, I am really into the game and sales are doing fine (and should continue to do so), so you will get no more hate (at least for LBP) from me.
