Fanboyism aside, he might have a point. What is the audience Sonty wants for LBP? The hype nearly isn't as big as MGS 4 or R2 (imo), and to be honest it looks more like a Wii game than a PS3 game (I don'nt mean the graphics, but the style of the game). As a PS3 fan(boy?), I'm not interested in LBP.
I think Little Big Planet has an identity crisis. PS3 fans keep declaring it is the ultimate casual game, but its based around building and swapping levels online, a completely hardcore experience.
If the game IS hardcore it will sell very well in and of itself but wont push consoles (as one would have to think between early Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii adopters that the hardcore market has been tapped).
IF the game is casual it will not sell well or push many consoles, unless the PS3 sees a LARGE price drop prior to the game's release.

Im boycotting any LBP sales threads until AFTER the game launches. Its just ridiculous how many there have been in the past few days.
To clarify, I think whatever the game is, it will push a few PS3's, I just don't think it will be as many as hoped. I think the game will sell better if it is the hardcore game I think it is.

Thanks, the world was just waiting for ur verdict on this game... now everything is settled. :)
I think the game will make a profit and sell well enough that nobody can call it a failure or anything like that, but I think overall that it will be a disappointing experience, if not the game itself, it's sales.
I think there are enough of these threads about predicting failure for LBP to live up to the hype. If you really feel the urge to voice your concerns about this particular game why not post in one of the existing threads.

I don't think you can look at it so narrowly. Sure, the game is meant for building, but if you aren't a creative person, or don't have the time to make the levels you want, etc. then you can just play the levels someone else made. I'm very confident there will be enough space for that kind of people.
Sure is alot of hate and negativity going around for this game.
