Sony Marks LittleBigPlanet Milestones

PS3

The PlayStation 3's LittleBigPlanet has reached some impressive milestones. Nearly two million players worldwide have joined the community since its launch in November 2008. More than 725,000 user-generated levels have been uploaded to the service. Since launch, the game has been played more than 125 million times, with players posting more than four million comments on game levels

Sony points to levels like “LittleBigPlanet Takeshi’s Castle”, “LBP Jurassic Park” and “LBP-MotorStorm” as great examples of references to TV, movies and other games, and to the “LittleBigCalculator”, circus-themed “Uncle Fritz’s Funhouse Frenzy” or “Huge Pinball Machine” as just some of the ways creative designers have made in-game tools or experiences.

“LittleBigPlanet is giving people from every walk of life the opportunity to express themselves creatively. The game is just the start. This is Creative Gaming; never ending experiences that take on lives of their own through their players," said Raoul Bedford, Senior Marketing Director at Sony Computer Entertainment Australia.

"LittleBigPlanet appeals to a generation shaped by their networks and thirsty for great experiences to share with friends. Where LittleBigPlanet goes from here is up to its community; it is theirs to shape however they like. This makes it much more inclusive than gaming has ever been before.”
