Definitely not the most polite way of putting it, but some of the PS3 owners in this thread might want to look at the "how much will these PS3 games sell?" threads a year or so ago. Virtually every single title was predicted as a guaranteed million seller, many reaching it in a single week and going on to sell several million in a matter of months. Admittedly I only remember the very worst estimates, but most of your guys should remember them as well.
And what happened? Even great first party games like Ratchet and Heavenly Sword needed a shitload of bundling to reach a million, and the only third party titles to reach 2 million are extremely high profile games with huge budgets like CoD4, GTA4, and Assassin's Creed. The PS3 simply doesn't have the software moving ability of more succesful consoles like the PS2 or Wii.

Reality I imagine. It took Ratchet and Clank a long time to hit a million, and it has a fanbase already. I doubt a new IP platformer is going to light up the charts given what Ratchet has done. I give it even odds to break a million, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it top out at around 700k.

cause it won't. singstar, eye of judgment anyone?
ps3 don't have wii or even ps2 audience. if lbp was a shooter(and even better an online shooter) it would cause ps3 just like x360 are consoles for FPS fans.

You could also argue that the 360 moves more software, but having been on the market for twice as long kinda screws up the comparison. I preferred to use clear examples of market leaders with the highest install base, and software sales. The PS3 has had a better attach rate on a number of new titles, and it's catching up with total install base, so it gets kinda dodgy.
The reason people are skeptical of the sales of Little Big Planet is how it's so much different to the stuff that normally sells on the PS3 (mostly shooters and racers), and generally has "underappreciated niche title" written all over it. A lot of gamers online are excited about it, but that was also the case with No More Heroes and Zack&Wiki on the Wii. Of course those also had the problems of little to no advertisement, and retailers being conservative with ordering them.
Seeing as how Sony will probably advertise it quite a bit, LBP will be a good test for the whole "the userbase of console X prefers game type Y, so game Z will do badly!" argument.

That's a bit narrow minded view, I am not a FPS player, don't like them, find them odd to play on consoles, yet I own only the PS3. PS3 has it's casual audience else Singstar and games like FIFA 08 or PES 08 would have not sold.
LBP will be advertised one heck of a lot.
Hmm, pie.
