" Personal avatars that you can play as with other people "

i had tony hawks pro skater for ps2 years before the wii was released which allowed me to play against my friends with personalised avatars 

...did the dev team for that game and the many others that have had personalised avatars for years before the wii launched all collaborate to bulid a time machine to steal nintendo's idea?

 

"A huge environment where the avatars gathered together and interact."

are we still talking about the wii's miis?

 

" the basic idea behind was to be an "improved" version of the Mii which it didn't live up to "

how so?

 

Having avatars is not the same at all. This is integrated into the consoles and plays accross games. Its a fundamental feature of the console. Simple games with avatars date back to the SNES era.

See previous post about user count.

"This is integrated into the consoles and plays accross games. Its a fundamental feature of the console. "

and most importantly does not at all apply to playstation home... where the avatars like with tony hawk are confined to that particular experience...

 

"A huge environment where the avatars gathered together and interact."

so according to you mii parade qualifies as gathering and interacting in a huge environment...
