For anyone not into the whole social networking scene, it's pretty pointless unless you really enjoy playing free mini-games.

But there is a pool of millions who are really into this kind of thing to the point where they spend more time in Home, talking to friends than they do playing console games.

Not sure that's what SCE had in mind when they came up with the idea, but... it's generating a steady stream of revenue, DEVELOPER SUPPORT is booming, and now even MS is trying to copy the success of Home by selling avatar costumes; something they explicitly stated they would never do when Home debuted.

MS has a very long history of adapting/buying/stealing what works. If we see a social gathering area for avatars in the near future, there's no denying it: Home was a success.
