it Really  failed? it sold good actually, japan doesn't do gazzilions sales like US sales.

another reason is Kowenicki hates asians.

could it be that as a "platformer", its pretty awful?

well do you remember that one article a few months back that said japanese like linear games?  well other than the actual story mode, lbp is a pretty non-linear game i.e. creating levels and being able to choose from thousands others create.  i would guess its for that reason it flopped there.

its a joke chillout...

Bullshit.

because you take everything way too personal.

I don't know about Japan but as a platformer lover I can say LBP is a pretty weak platformer so that could be why it's not insanely popular in the land of platforming.

Maybe, but Sony did have the game bundled for awhile. It was available bundled with the 80gb PS3's (black, silver, white colors available) with 2 DS3 controllers (instead of the usual 1 DS3). They also had the game available bundled with just a DS3 controller, so you could join in with a friend if you already had a PS3 (but not an extra DS3). I remember seeing a lot of promotion for it when it released, at least initially.

On the cover!

No, Ko is right, calling someone a racist is kind of a big deal, you have to approach it with extreme care.
