I'd say that even if something is not strictly unique, if it does bring that "uniqueness" to the mainstream, it's unique in that it made it mainstream.
Doom, iPod, Halo, Diablo, Warcraft, Kraftwerk...I'm sure you can come up with more examples. |
I wouldn't call it unique so much as oppurunistic. It's making the right move at the right time. Which should applauded, but i wouldn't call it unique or innovative. A lot of what i've seen in LBP editors look like it had been lifted from games factory. However, LBP has yet to even make it to the mainstream and like I said, i don't expect it to to sell well enough to. It's not even a matter of PS3 to me. I don't think this game would be a roaring success on the Wii either. I don't buy that the current audience will dig it. It's not like casuals were known for picking up platformers in the firstplace. I think it'll be awesome, but i don't see what the casual gamer is going to get out of it to make it the hit with the casuals that people expect, outside of the graphics. |
What numbers are we talking about here? A few million LTD is my guess, and I would call that a success. Not a real system seller, but still nice numbers. |
If i had to put numbers to it, I'd expect it to sell at most a million, probably in the 600-900K range. With a small niche community sticking with the game making levels for it. Maybe more if it really picks up in Japan.
