I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Hmm I semi agree. It is kind of sad for Sony when you launch great quality games like Little Big Planet but don't see the PS3 sales rise up. This is only bad for gamers. Why should Sony now invest in great quality games while Casual stuff cost less and sell way better.

Same reason Microsoft does with jrpgs, dlc, ect. To keep gamers happy and increase brand reputation. Sony can use all the increase in brand rep it can get right now. The only question is can they afford it.

Well LittleBigPlanet made a large profit, it cost about $5m to make, and will probably end up selling 3m. Not bad business if you ask me

Yeah but they needed a lot of tricks for it (like bundling the game) =p.

There wasn't widespread bundling, but it is being sold for £10 on amazon.co.uk, and has been £15 or lower for months, and in their top 10 for months
