LBP almost certain not to get #1 spot

Its football, what do you want it to do, having giant enemy crabs randomly coming on the pitch while Garry Megson takes out his bazooka to kill it.
What i would like is for FIFA not to be milked.
A simple patch would be nice for team updates e.t.c not a total new game every five minutes.

Christ there are some damn stupid replies in this thread. Of course Fifa will paste LBP in terms of sales, anyone that thinks otherwise clearly hasn't looked at sales figures any time recently. Quality wise its entirely subjective, I'm looking forward to both but judging by how much I play 08, I'm going to be playing Fifa 09 a lot.
I want this as DLC

i'd take LBP over Fifa anyday of the week!, but as said already Fifa will be no1 in the all formats charts
The idea that you can create your own huge bosses ala Shadow of the Collosus or remake Mario (which you know someone will do) or run around an empty landscape with some buddies making up a level as you go, those are the kind of things that have me hyped.
Will it beat Fifa in terms of sales though, nope, I'll go out on a limb and say LBP will get a higher average review score though
It's a PS3 exclusive. Like previous exclusives it's very important to liken them to the coming of the messiah despite the fact it's not out and no ones played it.
It looks a good game but to start complaining now that the 'greatest game on earth' isn't number 1 deserves a smack on the head.

I disagree. FIFA 08 brought me in as a new player (from being a die hard PES fan) because of the fact it had improved so much over the years.
I imagine FIFA 09 will bring many new players on board as well.
As for FIFA being the same old this, or football games in general, that suits me. FIFA 08/Euro 2008 are games that I continually go back and play, which is more than I can say for some of the other games in my collection. Keep them coming EA!
Err...no ones complaining and no ones stated its the greatest game on earth, so you maybe reading the wrong thread as youve quoted it. The general consensus is that it looks better than FIFA, simple. Everyone knows that FIFA 09 will out sell it as its more popular and its multi-platform. But as per usual you are finding it hard to comment positively on something PS3.

has TheStig1 borrowed Abooie's account or something, lol
No, actually Abooie is right. Several people do talk on here like every PS3 exclusive is going to be the best thing ever, I've seen it for every single exclusive of note on these forums. He's not said anything negative about the PS3. His comment is more geared towards the attitudes of the PS3 fan base on these forums than the console itself and I do believe he's actually right despite it clearly being tongue-in-cheek.
As above.
But doesnt every exclusive for every system get hyped as the second coming?? Gears 2, Alan Wake, Res2, Smash brothers etc, just a few that spring to mind, that have been seriously hyped by people on these forums. I know for one i would be hyping LBP far more than Alan wake at least we know its actually coming out this year and not on the Duke Nukem forever disk!
Fifa (all format) will outsell LBP, but i expect LBP to outsell Fifa (PS3) worldwide though.

No, I wouldn't say so, Smash Bros. was okay, nothing like a Zelda though in terms of hype.
Ninja Gaiden II wasn't blown out of proportion either, nor was Tomb Raider Legend or several other Xbox360 exclusives.

Behave. So you're now saying that unless you make negative comments about system you own you're opinion isn't valid? That you're a 'fanboy'? That you then have an 'attitude' as a PS3 owner because a very good, very original looking exclusive is coming to the system?
360 owners do exactly the same thing and there's nothing wrong with that either.
What is wrong is when people, like yourself, seem to think people have attitudes or are fanboys just because they like to talk up their system/games a little bit. It when you/others highlight people doing that causes arguments on the forums and often takes threads of target.
I think the PS3 owners are in 'hope' it's the best thing ever. As for hype, let's not forget the same for many 360 exclusives, Halo 3 being a prime example and a huge let down.
When you've been around longer than 5 minutes you'd understand what I mean. What Abooie said about the PS3 fan base getting ridiculous about every exclusive is actually true, they do and it's quite amusing. Heck, even Lair was gonna be the best thing ever even when it looked rubbish, only the reviews pre-launch stopped a lot of them splurging on it.
I never said they didn't, however it's not every game, in fact, the mega-hype is only generally reserved for the really big releases (Bioshock, Halo and Gears of War for example).
I think it's quite clear who are fanboys in here, but even those split into two catagories, the good as the bad. msmalls, Nanoman and Inoshishi are fanboys, but equally, have good opinions and don't get carried away. I won't name the bad ones, but it is obvious.
That's twice in 24 hours now you've brought something back up against me, both times massively uninformed (hence why TheStig1 was suspended) and again here.
The difference is, that was Halo. It was always going to be over-hyped, much in the same way GT5p had the same thing and Zelda Twilight Princess on the Wii. Those games are monsters so are gonna be ridiculous in terms of hype.
I do agree that it's in hope, but the way it's often worded - like in the opening post of this thread (and several other posts) is that it will be that good, not that it might be, and that's what seems to happen with alarming regularity.
