PS Home = WOW. Sony is upping the ante.

stewacide said: PS Home will be a huge failure. These sort of avatar chat systems have been around for well over a decade and have always been crap. Second Life has a strong fanbase, but it also has a lot to offer this doesn't. PS Home looks too ambitious, complex, and unfocused for 95% of the userbase out there, but too confining for the 5% Second Life hardcore. Also Sony is just asking for all kinds of legal and PR trouble with this system: how long until some kid gets molested, someone starts a White Power room, someone says f*ck in the presence of Jack Thompson? Considering how vile Xbox Live is, and that's a system people pay for / can be banned from and MS is nominally policing it, how out-of-control will this free system be?!? On the upside Little Big Planet looks *VERY* cool, although it will totally miss its market on the PS3 (a la Viva Piniata)

I agree on all points. Very good post. I too really think Little Big Planet looks amazing, but I bet they end up porting it to Wii or 360 or something. I don't think they are targetting the PS3 "Hardcore!!!" market.
