tbh watching the video and seeing this comment

"A gathering place for avatars, all of which represent gamers you know or live near, all conglomerating around icons representing games they're playing, all text-chirping about their status in the games"

reminds me a lot of ps home

I've used home quite a few times. That wouldn't be how I would describe and this doesn't look anything like it.

how would you describe home differently?

sure the avatars don't congregate around icons, i'd change that, but otherwise it seems about the same to me

Home plays kind of like the Sims or a hub to an MMO game. Its like an independent environment where you run around talk to people or initiate games that you've purchased to play together.

Miiverse is just like the Mii channel and the system menu on the Wii fused together. Everything is always there.

The games show up like channels did on the Wii only with Mii's of the people who played the games gather around. It is an enhanced version of the Wii's system menu. Its not a seperate program like Home. Its the actual boot screen.

What part of this looks like Home?
