With the same approach, PS3 is an utter failure.

I think the PS3 can be called a failure by Sony. But as a Gamer I can't. Because the games library is just incredible. Not as good as PS2, but still good!

What I'm trying to imply is that we, as gamers, should have a different approach to Home than Sony, if it's real that they're making money, you can always think that it's money that could be spent in making more first party games. You (and I'm not referring to you, CGI, but the gamers in general) can't change the way of approaching a problem to always look in the most beneficial way or worst possible way. You have to maintain a constant way of thinking, even when it doesn't put your company in the best light, and in that sense, even when Home could make money, it should be considered a failure in the eyes of most of the people here.

Playstation home actually came out? Didn't even know that, ah well guess its easy to miss something you give a rats ass about.

I went on Home once, got bored after 10 mins of loading, never been on it since.

Without specifics, we don't know if he is talking about the business of virtual items or the whole of Home. I can see the virtual items being very profitable, but is that enough to cover the ongoing development of the system and environments? Has that been enough to cover all the development costs over the years? We don't have that information from this article.

I don't buy virtual stuff but I do enjoy winning it either in my games I buy or the games included in home.

Home is a great business model Sony makes money on every piece of virtual stuff you buy, they make money from ads, developers use it to showcase their games and they make money off of all the virtual stuff they sell. Is Home the landmark app Sony claimed, NO but it is a profitable little model.

Plus if the rumors are true Sony is considering direct Facebook and Twitter interaction with home linking peoples home space with their wall.

Or is it? 

Edit:  Whoa!  What the hell happened to the Quote Button?  Let me just clean this up a bit.

I haven't used Home for such a long time.
