for me LBP is PS3's 2nd best game ever...

its such a different experience I have had.

"My sister is the only one who plays it now, and she only played it once."

That's actually... impossible.  Your verbs have a problem 8)

What's with all the hate here on LBP?  It makes sense that a lot of people have tried it because it's so hyped, and some of those people inevitably will be dissapointed, but come on -- it's definitely one of the most innovative games of the year, and manages to somehow be incredibly polished at the same time

Saying stuff like "no one is going to remember it in five years" is just being nasty to an awesome new developer, and to the spirit of innovation in games in general.  If it's not your style, fine.  If you're trying to get a shot in at Sony Corporation by attacking it, believe me, they will have moved on in five years.  But give Media Molecule their due.  They made a heck of a game.  Gamers should worry about developers, not about mega-corporations

Personally I think the best LBP gameplay is like Castle Crashers: a bunch of friends all sitting down at one tv and playing.  A lot of folks didn't like castle crashers because of the broken online, and the way it seems repetetive at times in single player, but it's my game of the year as far as couch co-op goes.  Well, it's probably tied with LBP.

LBP really isn't innovative... it just took a lot from PC games... then dumbed it down.

It really doesn't even belong in the "Create a game" genre that other games are in...

it's more like Morrowing, Blastworks or Unreal Tournament...

A game with a developed level editor.

Hmmm LBP is good, but its more a critics darling than an awesome game in its own right. Its still good, but not as good as the metacritic implies.

microsoft are afraid of the ps3 because if you look at the ending of the interview he says we are lucky that we are at half price of the ps3,meaning he knows that if they were at the same price ps3 would sell more.

You could give it to me.  I could use it.

"Aaron Greenberg: I don't think we're really comparing how we think our hardware will sell this year relative to the Wii. The nature of this business means that typically, you sell your hardware at little-to-no profit, and you make your money on the games. That's where third-party publishers make their money.

Xbox 360 is the system where the most games are being sold. We now have an attach rate of over eight games per system. We're clearly the platform that's driving the majority of all third-party profits, and that's before you even get to online. Nintendo may benefit when they sell hardware, but if third-party publishers aren't selling games the whole ecosystem doesn't benefit."

Very interesting comments, Mr Greenberg.  

I got a chuckle at the effective "X360 is cheaper than PS3 if you dont want unimportant stuff like a HDD, or rechargable controller, and don't want to play online, use a wireless network, not to mention play HD movies" comment, as well, coupled with the fact that the 360 doesn't even have a browser, like the PS3 and Wii do, and his comment on how the 360 was an "everything" box (without HD movies, HDD for DL movies, browser, etc.), whereas the Wii was "just for games".

This guy is awesome.  He is true master of media spin comedy.

when he said that the purpose of kudo what to.. "have fun.. share.. create"

I couldn't for the life of me remember where I've heard this before

I mean the game.. motto everything its all so familiar..

Excuse me?

You're saying the guy who says the PS3 is doomed, the 360 will continue to outsell it for all eternity, every publisher makes most of its revenue on the 360, and who claims the 360 has anywhere near the success of the Wii is gracious?

Sony releases one chart and Greenberg basically attacks every fibre of their existence.

Hopefully people won't take Pyramid Head's bait. :/

The thing that irked me most about this interview was his assertion that EA make most of their money from the 360... didn't EA's financials show that the PS3 was their biggest breadwinner?
