As a self-admitted Nintendo fanboy I'm very interested in seeing what LBP winds up doing. I picked it up this afternoon and had to be pried away from the TV after five or six hours by my wife. LBP is, IMHO, the best game available for the PS3 now, both on its own merits and in its broad, casual appeal.

Not sure any single game can be called a system-seller for the most expensive, 3rd place console, but LBP will give SONY a good boost. This game IS that good.

On the flip side, I'm going to enjoy the irony of seeing the hardcore fanboys explain LBP.. The same group that blindly hammered the Wii for its casual friendly platformers like Galaxy a year ago are all drooling over themselves in the LBP game ranking thread. That amuses me for some reason. :p

The same Wii fanboys that bashed shooters at every opportunity are now drooling over The Conduit. The same 360 fanboys that worshipped Mass Effect and practically swore off Japanese RPGs now love them because the 360 has the most. They are currently drooling over games that would've scoffed at a year ago. I find this all very amusing, actually.

 

QFT.

I think when people say they're buying a console for one game, it doesn't necessarily mean that game is the only one they're interested in.

There's games you want to play and then there's games you need to play, know what I mean?

 

 I double this.

And the same PS3 fanboys who drool over Killzone 2 for being graphically good while forgetting that it's just another run of the mill shooter with nothing going for it yet will never point it out.  Or the same 360 fanboys who continuously tell themselves that the 360 situation of RRODing is getting better when over time MS really hasn't done anything to help the situation despite ensuring you a warranty because they know the problem will persist.  Or the Wii fanboys who continue to bash the casual market in hopes it will backlash into more core support but then praise the good and best selling of the core efforts for helping and stabilizing their industry. 

This is what I find amusing.  Of course I'm not pointing out well known truths... still truths... but ones that aren't as well known.

Yeah, I'm talking about those people that really do buy the console for a single game.

I've never been about the easy ones haha.  But it seemed like a good threads for truths that were amusing.

 

Anyways I'd personally never get a Ps3 for $400 so wouldn't matter about LBP or Resi 2 despite sackboys being so cute haha.  Their cuteness consumes me and not too keen on Resi 2 but i hear the online is a blast... literally.  But my bro alreayd has a Ps3 so I play it from time to time and if I ever get a deal on PS3 for $200 or less down the road then you could say I'm picking it up for these games haha.

Lol, good to know the amount of Xbox 360 owners (now an days) are not ashamed to admit there are games on the PS3 that there starting to like, good goin bro.

I'll return the favor by saying i'd really like to play Star Ocean 4 on the 360 when it comes out, at the moment its the only game that would push me to buy an arcade model 360 or something, but i have a strong feeling it's gonna end up being a multi-platform realease so i'll just wait "IF" Tri-Ace pulls a Final Fantasy XIII/Square Enix. :P

Well if I'm anything I'm a Ninty fan but I get the 360 for Live.  But I don't mind admitting when games are good haha because if they are I'll say it.  But I also don't mind saying that if a game is good it doesn't mean it got there on its own. 

As for SO4... I'm really not a huge JRPG kinda guy as really ToS is the only one I ever got into.  If I am ever going to stretch my boundaries it'd probably be in FF rather than SO but we'll see.
