The general manager of Microsoft's Game Developer Group stated: "I think they've definitely taken some concepts that we originated like Achievements, but I think they're pushing in a different direction and we've sort of fundamentally got two different approaches going on here."

"I think there is very much a vision that people see it and it looks cool but it's fundamentally separate from the games – or at least what they've shown so far. It's a cool world but it's like a little game by itself. Our approach is the other way around; it's that games are the center and that's the star of the show, that's what people buy the console for."

But even Microsoft can't resist Little Big Planet's wool-coated charm: "I think Little Big Planet is very cool," he said. "But I can't see a big portfolio of games at the moment that do this. I don't think there's a whole load to catch up."

MS has always been like this. Especially Peter Moore. He is very awesome.

No, since the company is accepting that another one has a good game.  They are supporting an idea that sounds good, how is it posibly anything bad agianst lemmings?

I believe he meant the Home thing, not the LBP.

He was talking about Home (the online network), not Little Big Planet (the platfom game).

IMO...LBP is interesting but not worth buying a PS3. PSHome...who cares?
