LBP "an evergreen game for PS3"

via Computer and Video Games


Sony is bullish about LittleBigPlanet's prospects, even if the game's made a somewhat troubled start.

The brilliant platformer hasn't set the chart on fire since launch, but Sony Computer Entertainment America is confident it'll have legs sales wise.

Marketing manager John Kohler told GamePro that LBP is seeing "explosive" sales and that it'll "absolutely" rack up big sales over time, calling the the title an "evergreen game for the PS3".

"LittleBigPlanet also opens up the PS3 to other portions of the demographic - not just 20-something males, but younger gamers, females, and maybe even some older gamers," he said. "I think we'll see a great holiday season for the game.

"It's also the start of a nice franchise, and maybe down the line we'll look at new iterations," he added, which will surely reignite rumours about a PSP edition.
