We all know that behind every product is the intention to make a healthy profit but we're not talking about thar right now.

When I say "purpose" i'm talking about what Sony intends to achieve but not from a financial point of view . The goal for Sony in regards to Home is to have a thriving community , even if Home itself is a piece of shit it won't change the fact that community is the significant factor.

You may be able to get a better experience elsewhere but that's all subjective.

Criticising Home as a product is pretty much a waste of time , what a better pursuit would be to critise Homes ability to attract and facilitiate an online community. The fact that you , others and every gaming outlet in existance don't like Home means absolutley nothing at the end of the day it's the individual who decides she/he wants to be a part of the Home experience and that is the true determining factor in Home's sucess.

So you're saying home may be a peice of shit, but people might still use it? That's not something to brag about. This was the last line in my topic.

I'm sure somebody somewhere will have fun with it, hell a community will actually form. But keep in mind EVERYTHING will form a community if it's free and readily available. That doesn't mean it's not a surrealistic nightmarish postmodern hellscape.

Saying that people will use it even if it sucks is not a very good....anything. The interwebs at large are critisizing it as a piece of crap. If you go online the people using it are almost exlusively dicks that are just yelling "FUCK" while doing the running man to anybody with a female avatar. This is not success, and it's not gearing itself for future success.

 

 

No i'm saying even if Home is a piece of shit ( which i'm not saying it is or isn't ) it's irrelevant if people still activley use it . Home is a product and it's success is not dependant on the quality of the product but in how the consumer reacts to it , of course the consumer needs to feel that Home apeals to them (the quality of Home may serve as some incentive).

You seem to think that Home being "good" , "AAA" or "killer app" is all that matters  IT DOESN'T MATTER AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE ACTUALY USING IT !!!.

Home is made for the community if the community use it then Home is a success . If Home is the best application made since the dawn of time yet it doesn't have an active community then it is an utter faliure.


Saying that people will use it even if it sucks is great ; IMO Wii play "sucks" but it is fit for purpoe THE perfect mass market product.  I'm trying to emphasise the fact that Home is a product and not a piece of art , it doesn't matter if it's distasteful , ugly or scare all that matters is....

 

PEOPLE USE IT !!!!

 

If people don't use it then fair enough Home has failed but you seem to be missing the point .
