I don't see why this is such a bad idea. Okay, yes, it does look stupid. But that's the same thing 90% of us said about Imagine: Babies, and yet it's made Ubisoft millions upon millions of dollars and is close to selling 2 million. And hey, it might actually not be half bad.

I don't blame Sony for going after this kind of market but it doesn't mean I have to buy it.

Hey, no one expects you to.

HappySqurriel: You know, the exploitation of this game towards the casual market isn't half as bad as what Nintendo, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, or Ubisoft have done. I mean, games like Cooking Mama and the Imagine series were obviously just ideas of what little girls would like to play, and they've sold well.

 

I'll give you Ubisoft, but I don't think you can really claim that Nintendo, Microsoft or Electronic Arts has done anything (extremely) explotative ... Much like Cooking Mama this game will (entirely) depend on how it is delivered, my initial reaction was based off of the countless "Dress Barbie" (or whatnot) games that are made to exploit little girls.

 

Well then, I don't know. If the companies I listed (save for Ubisoft) haven't done anything "extremely" exploitative, then I would say that this isn't very exploitative either. Sony's just aiming for the casual market like any other company, and I can assure you that the four I listed aren't too innocent either. Besides, Sony has a decent track record of casual games, so this might not be too bad.
