So now addressing issues and upping the ante is taking others ideas and tweaking it. Oh yea that's so honorable and everything. It shows desperation on Sony's part is what it really shows. They know Nintendo is taking off and they need something to counter it. So why not take things that are causing them to take off so quickly.
Oh gimme a break. This is something Sony have been hinting at for a long time, and it basically shows Nintendo what Miis COULD HAVE BEEN. This is not a "tweak." This is a unified online service which combines Miis with MMOs with YouTube with basically every feature of XBL, all in a great big virtual world. Yes, this deserves praise.
