I'm not to predict whether this title will bomb or bust blocks, but it will be very interesting to see how this title sells. The HD consoles haven't had a major success with a casual title that didn't target the 15-25 year old male demographic. Will this be the breakthrough, or another Viva Pinata?

 Viva Pinata has sold over 1m units, ratchet & Clank will reach that mark, too. But yeah, all bombs.

Ratchet and Clank hasnt even reached 1 milly yet? Considering the high expectations for that game i'd say anything less than 2.5 milly is a bomb.



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

Whoops. Looks like I haven't been paying attention.

I don't consider R & C casual, but I stand corrected on Viva Pinata.

Other info from eurogamer:

Asked about Sony's plans for the Media Molecule game, marketing man Nick Robinson - a senior product manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe - confirmed the title will be released in September on Blu-ray disc only.

He left no doubt that Sony is giving the unusual, innovative mix of platform game and content creator the full blockbuster-release treatment. "This isn't a Warhawk or a Tekken: Dark Resurrection," he said, mentioning two games Sony has made available for download on the PlayStation Network. "This is a triple-A Blu-ray title."

Robinson felt that Sony's confidence in LittleBigPlanet was backed up by the overwhelmingly positive reception it's met with so far. He also confirmed the game will have a very substantial offline Story mode to justify the price for those less interested in its community and content-creation aspects.

No PSN download ... September release ... Single player offline confirmed.

If they want this to be big ... I'd create a pack-in, specifically with the 40GB, and have that as a permanent SKU from here till the end of the gen. It could be PS3's "Wii Sports" package.

 It's reached 1m shipped, which is the most important number for software. You realize that even Resistance and COD4 have not reached 2.5m, right? You just want the game to be considered a bomb, and that's why you're just pulling numbers out of your ass.

R and C is not any more casual than Madden. R and C also seems to target the 15-25 male demographic as I am not sure why it was even mentioned. I wouldn't even consider Viva Pinata as causal, though the party game variation is casual.

Guitar Hero may have targeted the male 15-25 male demographic (I'm not sure) but it seems to be a success with most female gamers in that age group, also. Hell, I know more females offline that play GH than males.

flOw is the #1 selling PSN download. If PS3 owners are buying that, they'll buy LBP.

Why do you say that? The games seem pretty different to me.

I fully expect this game to sell around 500K WW, given it's uniqueness, it will win tons of awards and attracts different demographics to PS3.

but don't expect it to sell millions in months.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.
