so you disagree that the concept of avatars gathering in a space to converse is shared between the 2?

Yes I disagree as one is a copy of the other. The Wii was doing that since launch. Sony lifted the idea and created there on unique version just like the sixaxis and Move.

I do not consider that being shared as Nintendo does not share their ideas with other companies.

Also, you do not converse with the Avatars, you converse on message boards for the games. The avatars are just there to show you who has played the game that you have interacted with just like on Mario Kart Wii and various other Wii online games.

" Yes I disagree as one is a copy of the other. The Wii was doing that since launch. Sony lifted the idea "

doing what exactly? are you trying to say that sony copied playstation home from nintendo?

"Also, you do not converse with the Avatars, you converse on message boards for the games"

ok then i misunderstood i had the impression that the interactions were all live 

Yes. The idea for Home came from Nintedo's integration of the Mii into the Wii and 360 Avatars were added to compete with Mii's as well. Nintendo made the Mii's(Your own personal avatar) and your ability to play with them in game an integral part of the system straight from the beginning with Wii Sports and Mii channel. It was one of their most advertised features. The PS3 and 360 had no such systems in the beginning. They saw the sucess of it and added their own clon... I mean variations.

How could you not know thats how Miiverse worked? I posted the video completely explaining everything about it.
