Forums - Sales - LittleBigPlanet vs. Wii Music: Battle of the Casuals

Why are they so many Wii Music threads? It's not a game. It's activity software. Why don't people have a problem with Endless Ocean. Games require objectives, goals and rules that may provide fun. Wii Music does not have objectives, goals and rules. it's entire purpose being enjoyment.

LBP is a cool game idea and is a game. LBP is a better game. LBP will not have the impact of Wii Music. LBP is trying to sell the most expensive machine that caters to core gamers, media junkies and sports players. Core PS gamers have a PS3 and LBP won't appeal to sports players or media junkies.

Wii Music is meant for my 8 year old daughter and her 51 year old grandmother to have some fun cheaply on a rainy day. Neither of them are going to fork over that much money for LBP.

Wii Music wins. I would rather play LBP if I had a PS3.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

 If memories serves, the developers in an interview talked about its accessibility.  I remember one saying something about his mom being able to pick it LittleBigPlanet up and play it.

I'm fairly sure this game is casual.

 

Hmmm, so why many people are interested in playing this game? I'm sorry, but I don't know much of this game. I've seen pics and looks great, but other than that? Is it a platformer? Adventure? What?

It's not, but becuase people are defining complilcated button pushes and large amounts of cinematics or combat as hardcore. LBP is getting lumped as "casual". I find it funny considering that PoGo has had easy to play games for years well before Wii, but no one ever went screaming around that PoGo is an end to PC gaming or thata PoGo is a casual game site.

The game isnt casual, it appeals to everyone.

I hate it when people categorize something as casual or hardcore.

It's a platformer that emphasizes player made content whether it be levels, objects, costumes and others and the distribution of this content through online play. 

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

Yeahh, I agree. From what I've seen, even if my Mom can play it, it doesn't make it "casual", it's just accessible.

I'm quite offended by Wii music's existance actually.

I still don't get how people think that Wii Music will be a hardware seller. Can someone please explan to me why people think Wii Music will push hardware.

Oh, and LBP will be huge.

 

 It says wii on it

Z0MG I finally understanded. It all makes sense NAW!!!!

Is there any other reason though. I cans ee that being a reason for it to sell ridiculously well but not as a reason for it to push consoles.

Oh, and LBP will be huge.

 

 

Because...it's a casual title. When was the last time a casual Nintendo title didn't boost HW?

When captain rainbow came out like 3 weeks ago

 Captain Rainbow is a niche genre game.  Point and Click isn't casual.
