It is far more likely that "9" influenced LBP than LBP influencing "9" [en.wikipedia.org]
It was a short before it was a feature. Reply

@rob_p: Probably more of a coincidence really but you would have to ask Media Molecule or Shane Acker if it was more than just that snce boh were conceived in the same year.

@Makidian: It may just be a coincidence. But they weren't both conceived of in the same year, or at least in no trackable way.
The original 9 short feature was released in April of 2005, and according to wikipedia, took four and a half years to make. Media Molecule wasn't formed until 2006, and Little Big Planet not announced to 2007. It is possible that the Media Molecule guys had the idea of a sackboy 6 years before they formed their company, but it seems unlikely.
I thought I had heard months back that Media Molecule admitted 9 inspired them, but can't find the citation, so can't say that wasn't an unfounded rumor. Reply

@Spiral: Actually the concept was brought about in 2005 when the founders of MM left Lionead because they didn't like the idea, so feasibly they could have be coincidentally thought of. Or it's likely one inspired the other, since it can't be said for sure that they were going to use sack persons in LBP. Either way the workd is better for it, at least mine is.
