Microsoft doesn't need to respond to home. It will destroy itself, secondly its optional (Which means not everyone will have it). Sony doesn't understand how you win an online gaming war. You don't do it by creating second life. You do it, by making the online experience quick/efficient and sensible. I'd hope for Homes sake that Xbox live on the 720 doesn't blow them away. Microsoft knows how to make online gaming great because they are in the business of doing that even outside of the gaming industry.

Home gives people with no life a chance to live their sims dreams. To invite their gaming friends to their fake house, sit on their fake couch (That they cannot afford irl), talk to girls (Who are probably fat irl) and Buy clothes and other useless pieces of junk that leave sad asses who cannot advance in the real world salivate.

 

Obviously you understand nothing and from past posts you don't learn when people try to enlighten you. You are unworthy of your avatar. (coincidence)

 

I will try to explain a few things though.

Sony keeps expanding the experience of the playstation in new ways. Not to with any product win the war, but as a total package being massivly better. That's how it works. It's not just home. It's home, integrated with the games, integrated with psn, integrated with the xmb, integrated with your friendslist.. etc etc. They want to integrate all parts of the experience and that is where they succeed. And that is what will make Home successful.

All that shit is old news... Microsoft has been doing that since 2005... adding Home doesn't make it something more than it is it just adds a 3D interface to your online play.  I think that at best the mini games/arcades/billards style games will be the only draw besides pimping your room/apartment.  How do you know a service is good? When 10 million people pay for that service.  Live is a intergrated service while Home has a distinctly tacked on feel to it and it's probably optional.

 

Aparently you failed to understand what i meant. I'll cut it out as much as i possibly can.

 

Sony is creating a home entertainment center. It's no longer Just a games console.

They want to bring all of the good shit out of the bedrooms and into the living rooms without it being too hardcore. (they have done this since ps1 you know)

 

What they are doing with home is creating a online community where you can establish a visual feel for the "playstation world" in a sense.

Home enables you to (almost) be at the big events. E3, Games convention, TGS etc.

They bring a lot of features in one package where you get a visual overlook of the features instead of text. This is very wise as a lot of casual players probably will be more interested in it than, for instance, xmb (or any other less visual "menu" of any system.)

i personally think microsoft wont see HOME as a treat and i would agree with tat it isnt a threat like who personally is actually gonna use home probly 2 million people out of the 15 million who own a PS3.

I am a playsation fan all the way owned all the Playsations and never had an xbox so personally believe wat i said

It may not sound alot to you but 2 Million active users = Alot of potential revenue .

 

Personaly I feel that Microsoft won't react to Home unless it becomes a success probably meaning we wouldn't see an MS equivalent this generation if takes anywhere as long as Sony's version did. Microsoft often use tried and tested methods as opposed to oringinal or innovative things.




I'm not sure Microsoft need to respond.

Home strikes me as Sony's attempt to keep online free.

You need money from somewhere to run online. There's costs involved, and you need some way of covering that cost. Not only that, but as online grows the costs grow (in a sense, that's the beauty of Microsoft's model. It doesn't matter how big it gets it should always pay for itself).

So, Sony's hoping to make money from advertising space in Home and people buying stuff from Home. The problem with this is that it NEEDS to be popular. Advertising only works if there's people seeing it. Selling stuff only works if people are using it.

It'll be interesting to see if it works.



i thought sony said home is definitely gonna be released at 2008?



Around the Network

It seems that Sony wants to cater to the people who have no life outside of a computer system... I have to praise them for giving these poor people somewhere to go. :)

I don't want to meet up with friends in a virtual world! I have friends outside of it, I have no reason to try this.



Tease.
