LittleBigPlanet is key for PS3

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has stated that Sony’s upcoming LittleBigPlanet is such an important title to the firm that it could be the catalyst for the machine’s delayed take-off in Japan, Next-Gen reports.

“We think that LittleBigPlanet will be a console seller in Japan,” he told investors yesterday.

LittleBigPlanet is being developed by UK studio Media Molecule. As well as boasting a distinctive graphical style, it also employs a number of new game concepts focusing heavily on user-generated content.
