I would like to add to the 55 minutes of average user time: That time is me waiting for a free spot on an arcade machine, or loading screen for different locations...

ya I said it.. it's true...

but in all fairness I haven't used Home for many, many, weeks.. sooo...

Also when was the last time somebody talked about Home? what gives?

People seem to only talk about Home when a new space comes out, or about to come out, then nobody talks about it again, I mean I was hyped about Red Bull.. but then after playing.. it faded..

So, How Many People Have Used PlayStation Home?

Sony's Home has weathered its fair share of insults since launch. But putting arguments over the service's usefulness aside for a moment, lets today look at some numbers.

Speaking with GameDaily, Sony's Peter Dille has revealed a few user statistics for the service. Did you know, for example, that the average user spends 55 minutes in Home per session? Or that, since launch late last year, there have been four million "users" (which, in any online service where they don't specify "active users" usually means the total number of registered accounts) in Home? You most certainly do now.

So what do those numbers mean for Sony? Bad news first: they either mean there are a lot of PS3 owners who don't connect to the internet, or there are a lot of PS3 owners who simply don't care about Home. Probably a good mix of both, because for a free service pitched as such an important part of the PlayStation Network, four million is a pretty low figure.

And the good news? Well, for those amongst the 4 million who still regularly use the service, an average of 55 minutes per session is surprisingly high. That's a lot of time spent seeing Sony ads and, hopefully, building a Home "community", even if it's not breaking down how much of that time is spent loading spaces, playing games or simply wandering around and chatting/grinding.

wow 55 minutes on home-nice, i think xbox live need to follow suite and copy anything that sony has and make it better.

Home sucks no matter what.

harsh

Well, you both can have of course your own opinion, but I think home can be used to make up at least some losses of PS3. There are lots of services that I don't use, but I wouldn't say that they suck. ( Habbo for example :) )

Xbox Live does not need Home.  I think the entire concept was just Sony trying too hard to be innovative, and not quite striking gold.

@sega4life

not tired of your own anti sony propaganda yet?

I know i m .Every fukin day another worthless thread.

it's a beta for a reason.

don't like it ,,don't use it.

*yawn* Home-hating is in fashion again - I wonder why twesterm didn't just post his new views (which coincidently are the same as his old views) in here and instead needed to make another thread which basically says the same as his last one and this one.

If you like hating on Home so much guys, then plz go on, I'll just watch and be amused by how emotional some ppl get over free software they aren't forced to use.
