somehow i hav the feeling that japanese will like LBP. coz its really different from those previous shooters and brutal action games from europe and us which tried to land on the land of the rising sun.

furthermore, japanese like "kawaii" (cute) stuff n i think LBP is really cute enough ;)

Not to bash but what other game could be the biggest in Japan? Motorstorm 2? Resistance 2?

We will get some crazy Japanese levels if it sells well.

Yeah, logically thinking about it if it's Japan and only counting the Fall it really doesn't have any competetion that I can think of.

I think this game looks great! I can't wait to get my hands on it, and if Sony market this game correctly then they will reap the benefits for months to come when it comes to sales!

It all depends on how the game is pushed!

This game has had a lot of mixed reactions from the people on gaming forums, but everyone that has actually played it can only praise it. I think that Sony's decision to make the sackboys the Playstations first real mascot is genious. The Playstation brand has always been about having something for everyone. Sony has never had a mascot that could truly represent it's agenda, but now with Sackboy thier is a mascot that can really show that Playstation is a product for everyone.

Sony wants this game to push the Playstation, and they know they have something that can hit that casual audiance. This game will be marketed smartly in each region, with brands that are popular putting there stamp on it.

So to join the crowd, "Little Big Planet Rocks My World"

PlayStation is a product for everyone, but not everyone is going to fork over $400 for a system with a creepy voo-doo doll game. *rolls eys*

No one knows how 'big' this 'little' game will sell, and like I said, not everyone who doesn't own a PS3 is going to fork over $400 for a system just for this game.
