Isn't this a good thing?? The fact that this game has failed. Honestly, gamers are punishing unoriginality. People can talk all they want about how this game is different and how LBP Karting is different from Mario Kart and they probably are. But the fact is that they "look" like ripoffs and I don't mind it that games that look like wripoffs fail. I would much rather reward Sony for games like Uncharted and Heavy Rain than for these games which were conceived by marketing people rather than passionate game designers.
