"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...

 

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

Hence, why it didn't live up like you asked...

No the Mii channel qualief as gathering and interacting, as well as various games that use Mii. Mii parade is a demonstration of how Miiverse has built ontop of the feature.

Mii channel only adds someones Mii to a Mii parade and they only does just that, parade from the top of the screen to the bottom in an endless loop with the only interaction being Miis in the same parade. No chatting, no actual social interaction what so ever between different Wii owners. Home has chatting, video viewing, game launching, minigames to play, homes to buy and furnish, additional clothing to purchase or win through the mingames, etc...

Anyone trying to claim Home was a copy from Nintendo is 100% wrong. If it were to be compared to anything, it would be compared to Second Life who... wait a minute... does this mean the Mii channel is a copy of Second Life since Home is built off of the Mii Channel even though it mostly resembles Second Life?

Wow, so confusing!

 

I think Second Life copied Nintendo if you want me to be honest.

Although in all honesty, how is anyone copying Nintendo in this field when they are the ones playing catch up?
