LittleBigPlanet analyzed as "system mover", weak vs fire

RPG references are fun in subject lines, unless nobody knows what you're talking about and you have to give them a hint in your first sentence. Anyway, Mr. Outspoken Analyst Man, Michael Pachter from Wedbush Morgan has apparently gotten his mitts on LittleBigPlanet and can't stop singing its praises.

He feels it will not only be a driving force for PS3 sales, but "after seeing LittleBigPlanet at TGS, I believe it could be a console mover ... The game is really innovative, and I think it adds a family element that is so far missing from both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. If they can accompany that game's launch with a price cut (or a lower priced SKU), I think we'll see a spike in sales."

He's in luck, as we're fairly sure we'll get a lower priced SKU at some point before the PS3's fiscal year ends (rumored to be sooner than you think). We've just got to remember, the console hasn't even been out for a year, hardly six months for some users across the world.
