Well if Home keeps bringing in that kind of income, they'll expand on it right quick I'd imagine ^^ I agree that there hasn't been much content, it's kind of sad really. But Home will expand, they just laid the groundwork out. The people who make content for home are what will ultimately decide the usefullness. They have a bunch of area's that have already been tested, I'm just not sure why they're not up yet xD Perhaps negotiations on advertising cost's or something ^^

I'm bored so I'm gonna play with numbers a bit.

So if what you say is true, but let's say 10 seconds for the sake of argument and let's say everybody is buying the cheapest available product there, which is .49 cents, there are plenty of different "instances" for Home so there are not thousands of people cluttering up one place, so let's be conservative and say there are a total, at the most, 10 instances running simultaneously (each instance holds up 32 people I think). So in 4 days that would equal

.49 (price of product)*6 (products purchased a minute) * 60 (products purchased an hour) * 24 (product purchased a day) * 10 (all instances) = 42336

In those 4 days that would equal $169,344 in revenue

What do you think? Sounds right? Too high? Too low?

You're assuming on a server with 32 people there's a purchase every 10 seconds? Or did I misunderstand something?

I'm taking Leo J when he said 6 or 7 seconds.

But that seems like too much. It's as if one person makes a purchase every 5 minutes.

Oh well it does make that sound every 6-7 secounds, you can get on Home right now, and Im sure you will hear it commonly.

I'm not saying that's not true. I'm just doubting that it refers to a purchase for a group of 32 people. Perhaps it's for the whole Home, or something in between...

I read that each instance holds at the most 32 people, though I can't verify that.

If it's for the whole home it would be just 17k, and that doesn't sound right.....peharps the mall holds more than 32 people? Also people drop in and out of an instance fairly often.

I think the sound is for the whole of Home, I really doubt that the group of 32 people bought around 40 items in 3 minutes lmao

As was said in this other thread, one $1 purchase every 5 seconds is around $7 million a year which sounds reasonable.
