LittleBigPlanet sequel would be 'counterproductive,' says dev

LittleBigPlanet producer Martin Lynagh stated in a recent interview that creating a sequel would be "counterproductive" and cause the fanbase to fragment.
No sequels until you can double the amount of Sackboys on a skateboard.
G4TV found an article on Critical Gamer teasing its upcoming interview with Media Molecule's Martin Lynagh by including some choice quotes about the possibility (or lack thereof) of a LittleBigPlanet 2. Most notably, Lynagh believes that a sequel would fracture the audience "We’d never want to do that." Lynagh said "That'd be the most counterproductive thing you could do I think."
According to Lynagh, the PS3 version will likely sustain itself for awhile on the large amount of user-created content, saying "I think what you’ve seen so far from LittleBigPlanet, that's the way it's going to continue."
LittleBigPlanet came out in October of 2008 with a "Game of the Year" edition releasing this past September. The PSP version of the game is due out this month.

The sequel should just add a crap load of new content but still be compatible with the first LBP. That'd be #1!!!!!!!

I think he's absolutely right. The only thing I see possible is massive DLC.
I'm pretty excited for LBP PSP

I don't think it'd sell. Think about all the effort and content that has spawned by the massive fan base. A new LBP would scrap all that (unless they worked something out). Besides, they could gradually improve the game with DLC.
