A little late on the trigger, Media Molecule is prepping to release a demo for LittleBigPlanet on the PSN. The game shipped in October 2008, meaning we’re roughly 8 months past its release date in North America. At this point, why bother?

My guess is that sales are well below what was expected, even though LittleBigPlanet was a critical success and is nearing 2 million pieces of user generated content. Getting a demo out might get some additional sales. How many that will be is anyone’s guess, but I’m not holding my breath on this one.

Personally, I haven’t played LBP in a very long time. Even though tons of new levels are available daily from users around the world, there just isn’t enough variety to keep me coming back for more. Additional costumes and stickers aren’t my thing either, so I haven’t bought any DLC for the game. I might fire it up again soon to see how things are going in the user created level area.
