At CES 2009 yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment president Kaz “riiiidge raaacer” Hirai announced that LittleBigPlanet has sold 1.3 million units worldwide. We’re a bit confused by that as we’ve been studying VGChartz.com who claim the figure is 1.82m, but then we’re inclined to believe Sony in this instance.
Anyway… Mr Hirai also revealed that 3.4 million people have downloaded PlayStation Home. That’s over double the number of people who have LittleBigPlanet! Has the entire world gone mad!? We don’t care if Home is free! Everyone should own a copy of LittleBigPlanet! Everyone! Just look how many exclaimation marks are being used in this news item!
Let’s just remind ourselves about these two pieces of software…
PlayStation Home:
“Hi, we’re in Delaware.”
LittleBigPlanet:
Sackboy! Paint! Stickers! Nipple cripples!
Ok, so we’re taking a cheap poke at PlayStation Home. Let’s not forget that according to one of the U.S Producers on LittleBigPlanet, ‘efong’, a LittleBigPlanet Home space is being “worked on”. So at least we can look forward to that coming to Home.
In the meantime - Do you know someone who has PlayStation Home but not LittleBigPlanet? Get on their case and make sure they have a copy of the bestest most awesomerist game ever!
