I think this game will sell well. I give it about 3-5 mil lifetime, assuming, of course, that Sony is serious about making LBP one of it's staple brands. If so, they're going to bundle this game, which will definitely boost sales.
This is also about Sony jumpstarting it's online reputation, as well. This game has the potential to put the PSN on the map far more than HOME or, to a lesser extent, Singstar or Buzz. If a solid, imaginative online community builds around this game, and if Sony supports this community with ever increasing downloadable tools and editors, this could become an online behemoth for Sony. That will get a fire started on the internet that could ignite word of mouth spreading from message boards to the "Dude, you've got to see this"-person-to-person interactions.
I think the potential is huge, now we'll have to wait and see how hard Sony pushes this one.
I, for one, will be waiting until I can see how those communities come together. I'm more interested in playing other people's levels than creating my own. But who knows? Maybe I'll catch the bug. haha
