| Ckoal said: Um as much as I really don't care for the Xbox... At all. But I have to agree with Chris Hu. No one I know with a PS3 even uses PSHOME or even talk about it. While everyone who has an Xbox uses their avatar, and when ever they have spare cash they do trick out their avatar. (Granted I think they are silly, but they do it.) Now i'm not arguing that people do not spend money in PSHOME, I'm just saying it's not a cash cow... simply because not everyone with a PS3 uses PSHOME... While in Nintendo's case.... you are forced to use the Miiverse... and all my friends with WiiU's have at one point posted to it... Because it kinda forces you to... To be honest it's like an annoying cousin that want's your help with a game and won't stop till you help, and you always help... Yeah, so it's pretty awesome. Again not saying PSHOME sucks (I DO SAY THIS ABOUT THE XBOX'S OS THOUGH), I'm sure PSHOME has it's purposes, it just isn't a Cash Cow... If you could provide numbers that say the contrary I will be more than happy to retract my standpoint. |
If PS Home was really this great cash cow like WindyCityHeat thinks it is, it would have gone out of beta a long time ago but its still in beta and it launched in December 11, 2008. Also it would be updated more often the last update it got was September 12, 2012 according to wikipedia. And it would be intergrated into other sony devices like the 360 avatars which are intergrated in Windows phones and are accessible on any device that can access the internet via xbox's main website. Also PS Home is not intergrated into any PS3 games. Numerous 360 games both online and retail, feature avatar rewards plus there are games in which you can use your avatar.
