Actually, I think the real question is:

"Why the so called hardcore gamers are interested in LBP???"

The way some users talk about casual games, just don't fit to the hype they made about LBP.

So a game where you spend hours creating a level shouldn't interest core players? Or is it that platformers (a genre that gamers were raised on) shouldn't interest said players? Lemme tell you about something I thought was very clear, the favorite game of the majority of core players on the Wii is Mario Galaxy. That sould answer your real question...
