Oh well, bygones. I'll let it rest and leave it at this; I hope this game will be fab, I want an excuse to buy a PS3 next year.
PC gaming is where its at imo but it gets expensive as shit when you try to keep up.

PS: Sorry for being a tad cranky Gnizmo, bad day, very bad day.

No worries Mummel. It happens to everyone. I suspect LBP will be a very good reason for people to buy a PS3. You might want to update your sig again.

Does a sliced Wii equal 2 Gamecubes?

Are you serious?  When SpartanFX made a thread paraphrasing a preview which speculated that Too Human might be the next Haze, some 360 fans flipped out, and there were multiple pages arguing over his supposed "cherry picking" of the original article.

And outside of MGS4 and LBP, what games have been hyped to be "100% Guaranteed AAA 5+ Million sellers" for the ps3?  I've seen some hyped to be AAA (Uncharted, R&C, Heavenly Sword), but none hyped to sell anything close to that.

You're stereotyping ps3 fans based on the actions of a few fanboys, and ignoring the fanboys for the other consoles.

Also: "Lair, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted to outsell games like Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros."

I have never seen a single fanboy speculate that, not even Crazzyman.

You must have joined after Lair, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword were all released. They were the games that would start PS3 domination and sell more than any other game released up to that point. They were the 5 million+ AAA titles that were goinjg to doom the other systems to nothingness. Given since then it has calmed down a lot but mostly because the super fanboys claiming that have left the site. Those three titles were hyped to hell and back though. I still remember people mocking the PS3 fanboys because Heavenly Sword was "only" going to make a million.

LBP is looking awesome. Go LBP

I find it VERY hard to believe that anybody would've hyped those games to sell over 5 million. Especially an online only title like Warhawk.  Heavenly Sword outselling God of War by 2 million?  Um...

I joined in May of 2007 and started posting regularly around July, and I don't remember any of that.  Hyped to be AAA titles?  That I remember, though the Lair hype did start to deflate closer to release much like Haze and Too Human.  Hyped to sell over 5 million?  Hell no.

why Little Big Planet will succeed in both sales and quality
-the game appeals to the casual crowd with it's Maro/Crash-esque play style with great platforming skills put into it. Yet it also has Hardcore Appeal with its user made content which will in the end fuel both groups.
-Casual Players can play the main game, then try out what people have come up with in online content, Hardcore will play it and make the new levels, as it becomes more popular Casual Gamers become Hardcore and get in on it too.
- The game will be under heavy marketing, the likes of which very few games have recieved. Halo is a game that sold almost entirely on it's marketing ploy(and many will admit it was not even that great) yet it did very well, Final Fantasy VII was also a game under heavy Sony marketing, also a triumphant success. Marketing can sell a game if you only know how to hype it. Sony KNOWS how to hype a game.
-Every single preview, review, hands-on, whatever has been nothing but glowing for LBP. No one in the actual gaming world can find even the tiniest of flaws within the game without nitpicking. The game could actually be flawless, getting 10s when it actually comes out meaning the PS3 has recieved 3 10 grade level AAA titles in one year(MGS4,GTA4,LBP), that would be mindblowing.
-User generated hype, ala me, and the OP, as well as many others who are super hyped for this game. The hype is catching and spreading like wildfire.

I trully believe this game simply CANNOT fail, there is just too much going right for lt. It is the second coming of Zelda:Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy VII, it will be remembered throughout history....

I think it's a case of people remembering the most ridiculous sales predictions and then blaketing them over the entire fanbase.  Remember that guy who said that LBP would get 8 million or someting stupid like that?  I bet you that's going to be what we were all saying next year.  Everyone who wants to belittle LBP will talk about how PS3 fans said it would get 8 mil.

It seems some people need to learn how to read. This is posted in the Gaming Discussion forum. If you wish to speak of LBP's possible sales, go to the Sales discussion forum. It is located next to the Website tab under Forums.

To stay on topic, LBP looks to be one of the better PS3 titles in 08. Let's hope this game gets to as many people as possible.
