I gotta agree with him there. LBP and R&C are much more child orientated than the two batman titles in question which for the majority appeals to teenagers and adults. |
Children enjoy games based on outside properties they're familiar with. Batman is one of those, and you'd be remarkably surprised how many kids get to watch movies like the Batman series and Transformers. I mean who do you think buys all those Dark Knight action figures, playsets, posters, etc.? Teenagers? Yeah right. You package a Batman game with a Batman movie a lot of parents have let their child see already, and you get an easier sell than two games a parent isn't familiar with at all.
LBP and R&C are franchises I'm sure Sony would like to get children interested in, but they've attracted only the same teenaged to twenty-something audience a lot of the rest of their franchises attract. Afterall, if these were franchises that children liked, then this forum wouldn't have a hard-on for them also. We all know what the majority here think of children's games.
