(1) The LBP games really aren't that fantastic. Sony fans praise them, yeah, but for the rest of the gaming community, they're very hit-or-miss. I bought LBP2 and LBP Racing and was very underwhelmed by both.
(2) Sackboy has zero personality. The very premise behind him - being fully customizable and neutral - is precisely why he's not mascot-worthy. One could say similar things about Miis, but they're only fully customizable in regards to appearance (and really, only facially). They have tons of personality, annoying as it may be.
If (1) the LBP games played more smoothly and (2) at least the main Sackboy was more memorable a character, it'd have taken off more.
