While that's great and totally deserved (yes, yes CGI I WILL get around to buying it), do you expect it to carry momentum forward and sell as well LTD as some of the other new PS3 IP this generation (esp. the exclusive new IP: R:FOM, Uncharted, LBP, Motorstorm)?

I mean we are in the 3 million LTD territory here. R:FOM is the best new IP on PS3 LTD at 3.67 million, Drake's Fortune is at 3.04 million.

Does Heavy Rain have that sort of potential in it?

That is crazy, I really didn't expect that.. Better than KZ2?! and Infamous?! and Little Big Planet, and Uncharted!? My GOD!

I just finished this game, and other than a little hickup at the ending the game was amazing.

Erm KZ2 isn't a new IP. The "2" should give you a bit of a steer on that one.

Hmm.. This is true :p It pops into my head as an IP any time I think of it for some reason.

Hopefully this can prove to other (larger) developers that you can be creative and innovative and do well. Personally, I am tired of the same old stuff every year with just improved graphics.
