| SlorgNet said: LBP sales are impressive, given that there are only 17.6 million PS3s in the hands of owners. It's a casual game for a console which is still a bit expensive for the mass market, so once the $299 PS3s arrive next year, you'll see a huge "tail" of second and third-year sales. The real importance of LBP is that it signals a huge change in gaming. Power is slipping away from the giant media monopolies, in favor of fan-based gaming, based on non-commercialism and sharing. Some of the designs created by LBP fans are incredible, better than any commercial designer could have come up with. This is a good thing for gaming, and the monopolies will just have to learn to accept the reality that gaming has its own vibrant, non-profit public spaces. |
Yes, but once 299$ PS3s show up, there will be like 99$ Wiis. So I don't think the sales will go up drastically... But I could be wrong.
