Maybe this was the actual asspull of the year.

1. "Created the world" is obviously hyperbole. If the sword's appearance is any indication, the sword may have had some role in distributing chakra to ordinary humans (the sword appears has a double-helix shape, i.e DNA). Thus, "created the world" likely refers to the ninja world (which, incidentally, is what Obito is trying to destroy, NOT the planet Earth itself).

2. It was heavily implied that Obito's uncertainty / regret played a part in weakening Obito's strike. His sword was broken after his Will was... Obito didn't have the conviction that Naruto did.

3. Yes, a large portion of the sword's power came form the fact that it was swung by Naruto's Sage Mode Kyuubi form. Obviously Sasuke's PS is very powerful, especially with Juugo adding Sage chakra, but I believe it was the combination of the two that gave it its strength.

All-in-all, not an asspull at all. However, the sword should have been actually used prior to being defeated; the way it was unjustifiably hyped is just half-assed. Kishi didn't NEED to build up Obito's attack for it to seem like a huge accomplishment when Naruto/Sasuke defeated it; the fact that he implied all these ambiguous "feats" had been accomplished with the sword just makes it confusing.

It wasn't sasuke or naruto that broke it, it was Obito doubting himself that broke it. remember the sword was said the have created everything and whiten it lies Rikudo's feelings? Well Obito doubted himself making the sword useless.
I think you're on to something. But I would take that interpretation and say because Obito is going against the sages feelings he might have failed. The problem is Kishi doesn't clarify these things so it just creates confusion and plot holes.

It's Fairy Tail all over again.:|
O gawd -_-

Ugh. Such negativity.

Would it kill some members to actually analyze the scans they provide and deduce things with logic and reasoning?

That wasn't ps btw, look at the size.

Indeed, Kishi didn't clearly clarify it, But For those who looked deeper, they understood it. Nonetheless, It looked like an ass pull.

I believe that the Susanoo that may have been talked about in Uchiha legends and mentioned by Madara as being capable of "smash[ing] all things in the universe" is Sasuke's Susanoo. Sasuke may have been predestined to awakening a Susanoo that would possess such as power.

Sasuke's "Perfect" Susanoo blade destroyed a sword that was said to have created the world. One can derive from this that Sasuke's PS blade has the power to destroy all creation.
