LittleBigPlanet PSP's very excellence is a hefty kick in the teeth to the platform's small, colourful community of native IPs – under-exposed homegrown gems like Brave Story: New Traveller, Patapon, Lumines, Crush and Jeanne D'Arc, long tided under the carpet in the rush to transplant franchises from formats with higher software attach ratios.
Shooting the PSP's anaemic line-up full of proven material may seem sound commercial sense on the face of it, but for the money the last thing the increasingly sidelined machine needs at this point in its life is more leftovers – even leftovers as delicious and nutritious as LittleBigPlanet.
