LittleBigPlanet is Will Wright’s PS3 System Seller

SimCity and Spore creator Will Wright doesn’t own a PlayStation 3, but a little video game starring Sackboy looks like it will finally get the famed game designer to plunk down some cash for the Sony system.

“I haven’t seen as much of [LittleBigPlanet] as I’d like to. What I’ve seen of it looks intriguing and very cool. I’ve seen a couple videos of it, though. Is it out now? I don’t have a PS3.”

Wait wait wait, this is where I had to stop him. Not only did I have to tell him LBP’s release date (October 21st), I had to ask why the hell he doesn’t own a Playstation 3. I mean, he’s Will Wright, one of gaming’s greatest designers, and he doesn’t have Sony’s latest system? You mean to tell me over the last two years the thought to acquire one, even for free, never entered into his mind?

“[LittleBigPLanet] will probably tip the scales for me to buy one. I own pretty much every other system. There’s just been no titles for [the PS3] I’ve really wanted to see.”

So Will Wright’s got no love for Metal Gear Solid 4? How dare he. It does seem that LittleBigPlanet will be the PS3 system seller for a lot of folks, though.
