Right so casuals will buy a PS3 because of LBP?

Puh-lease!
I like my PS3 and all but it's obvious by now it will never win the casuals.

Because casual gamers cant play mario( a hardcore game) sure.

Causal gamers play games, just not as much as we do thats the difference.


lol at Mario being hardcore. Mario is for EVERYONE.

Btw, not to troll or anything (not sure if this can be considered trolling, but...) I don't really seeing LBP doing so well. It dosn't seem to be a game most PS3 owners might get into. I see PS3 owners getting into shooters like MGS4 and RPGs like FF XIII, but LBP...I don't really see it have a lot of success. Something tells me it's just an overhyped game that might sell average but it definitely won't be a SMASH hit. This is just my opinion, so...

Good for PS3 on eaching 5 mil inOthers, though.


That is the whole point of that game, to appeal to not the typical PS3 user but bring in a new crowd.


Btw, I edited my post. And all I'm saying is what would casuals go for?

-Wii Sports with the Wii in a very good price range - $250
-Little Big Planet on the PS3 with the PS3 at $400-$500 (I'm aware the PS3 will recieve a price cut this year but there's no knowing for sure how low it will go. Either way, the Wii will still be cheaper.)

Also, Wii Sports is pretty simple to play than LBP. LBP actually forces you to make stuff which requires some thinking.

AND, Wii Sports is already popular AS IS. It's on TV shows, magazines, etc. Do you see LBP on TV? Not really because most people don't know what it is beyond the PS3 hardcore. I very much doubt an average casual gamer would know what LBP is. They'd know what Wii Sports is but LBP probably wouldn't ring a bell.

 Don't get me wrong, i DO NOT think LBP will makes people choose PS3 overWii.  My point is that casuals might want another system, or those looking for a blu-ray player might say oh the PS3 has some interesting games so let's pick that up.  I think the Wii is the better buy and when it comes down to one or the other than Wii wins.
