isn't this quite an old news and discussed and dissected many a times.?

Seems like somebody woke up after a very long time

 

lol, if you're refering to me, then yes, I've just returned back to these forums (and to normal life) what with all the exams that I was studying for, sorry if this is old news

I never had any expectations for it. If it's profitable...good 4 them.

Something tells me this amount will be lower in the next few months, until it stabilizes. It would not be a bad amount if they could get this every month.

I still question whether or not they can break even on this thing before the end of the generation.



Tease.

Home is crap

glad to see gullible people help SONY get money though

@neo-raf

looks like you really want to be banned again

@NJ5

I agree....there is a PEAK sale kind of thing in the first month

then gamers loose interest.

but also remember HOME is going to be a STANDARD feature....so its not gonna be like a front-loaded game kind of thing.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Is it profitable??

$1 million in revenue is a lot.. but as Home made a profit yet?

A million isn't very much for a mmo.

Of course not. $1 million a month is probably barely enough to cover ongoing costs.

Let's say they spend $4000 a month per employee (not a big amount). Even if there are only 100 people working on Home (including network administrators, developers, artists etc) that's $400,000 already. Then add server costs, software licensing, network colocation costs and you quickly get near that $1 million.

1 million from Home... Big deal...

Think of the millions made by Microsoft in Xbox Live.

Sorry, but 1 million is nothing in this economic crisis.

Sony should make us pay for PSN.
The Microsoft Live structure on Xbox is a real success, Sony should build from that.

 

Um... this doesn't even talk about the PS Store and the content sold in there.. it's just about HOME...... And the article doesn't even state when they sold 1 million, so we don't know how much they've sold up to now...

They made 1m$ from a hat, it was the christmas hat, it sold 2m copies for 50cent each.

1m dollars for a virtual hat aint too shabby.
