I think Home will sell consoles

Live did not sell the Xbox. Compelling games to play on live sold the Xbox. People would rather have free online, but they want to play games that they wanna play, so they would rather pay $50 a year to play the game they want rather than something for free that they dont wanna play. In the end, its all about the games. The mass market is blind to features. Sony is gonna have to spend millions educating people about what HOME is , what blue ray is, and etc. The only thing that can sell it is compelling games that people want to play.

totally agree, as good as home is and I will buy it - I just see it for the Hardcore audience only. The wii's friend codes really annoy me personally but I see the point of them and I know my wifes boss for example is buying a Wii for the kids (even though their torn between the Wii and PS3) as she knows it's online features are secure and it's the first console / pc she has allowed them to explore online due to it's security. I just think Home will have a market that'll be turned on by it but at the same time the'll be a market thats turned off and will never care about understanding it's "full potential". It will sell systems but not Mass market amounts, I do however predict it'll be huge in Japan.
