No way in heck could one single game (even LBP which is going to be sweet if it delivers on all promised fronts) could have that effect. So no worries. Different games offer different experiences, and although one game might be able to "kill" others within it's own genre, no one game that I have seen has been able to take all genres down.
Since you mentioned LBP I'll aim this at that. The game looks to offer some slick features, such as coop and customization. But, even in the coop, the level of competition is still different from that on offer by Resistance (1/2, which is slaighted to release before LBP, I think), Killzone 2 (after LBP, barring another delay), SOCOM, R6:V, and CoD4. People who are into those games are not guaranteed to buy into LBP. They are too different. A lot of them might, but not b/c they are of the same vein. What they have to offer is not of the vein either, so even if they do buy into LBP, that is no guarantee that it could/will replace their game of choice in their hearts. Not b/c one is necesarrily better then the other, but once again b/c what they have to offer is just too different.
