LittleBigPlanet was a critical success for Sony, but many players, myself included, have abandoned the game. While user-generated content is a great concept, in practice, it’s not always up to par. For me, LBP was great for the first month or so, until I ran out of enjoyable levels to play. While the game has barely sold one million copies in North America, the upcoming PSP version set for release on November 17th has the potential to open up the game to even more gamers.
The level designs in LittleBigPlanet are very conducive to portable gaming. Short, bite sized play experiences that allow you to hop in and out when you have a free minute, be it on the subway, sitting on a train, or stressing yourself out in a waiting room. I’d personally be more inclined to try out a new LBP level on the PSP on the go than firing up my PS3 for only a few minutes. As long as the PSP version doesn’t have to download large patches every month, it’ll be a great quick gaming experience.
Only time will tell if the PSP version will be as successful as the PS3 edition of LittleBigPlanet. Given the fact that only five or so games have reached the total worldwide sales level of LittleBigPlanet, it’s unlikely sales will match the console version. But in terms of the fun factor, which should be more important to all gamers, the answer may not be as clear. We’ll see next month.
It’s on the PSP……So no. -_-
That’s a good way of looking at it. I highly doubt this will move a million units, but it could be a very good game for the psp.
Good ugc isn’t a first month thing. If you havnt seen the ugc that’s out there now then you have no idea if its good in practice or not. I don’t even think they had guns in the game yet at that point.
I do agree it could be a good game for the psp though
I think it’s tragic how few copies of LBP have sold. They should relaunch it around the holidays with a big media blitz playing up the GOTY edition and showing off the upcoming water levels and the paintgun levels in commercials.
Not to start a ruckus, but it’s amazing to me that ODST can sell 2.2 million copies before I can finish taking a shower, but LBP has barely cracked that in the time since it launched.
well written article, I am a better person after reading this article. Three paragraphs talking about nothing. . . . This is the reason that n4g is an irrelevant site. I am wholeheartedly in agreement about the sales of LBP and the fact that there are only 10k people online lately, but I feel violated for giving you the page view on this article. Good luck.
