Forums - Sony - Sony: Eventually Home can be a 'Big Box Shifter' for the PS3.

The topic title and first paragraph all made sense, and it seemed feasible that in the far future, Home could be a place for everyone.

Then the guy said "we're very close" to that point, and I lol'd.

^ I agree, Home will make revenue for sony. I highly doubt, however, that the revenue generated will ever cover the cost of the 4 years it's been in development.

Are you serious?  Let's say those 6.5 million users only bought one 99 cent item a piece from Home's various shops (I know many that have bought an apartment full of items, and many more that have bought none at all, but it probably evens out).  That's already at least 6.5 million bucks.  Plus, they get advertising revenue.  Third parties pay for their own Home spaces, there's no doubt about it, and there's the advertisements for movies and stuff in the central plaza and the movie theater.  All of these things are a source of revenue for Sony.  Reportedly, they made a million the first two weeks after the beta went public, and I've heard that the revenue they're taking in has only gone up from there.

Unless you think the service cost some ungodly amount to develop and maintain, they'll probably turn a profit overall before the year is out.



xbox live prime time and home will never be console movers.. they are just perks for each console.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

This is the internet Darth, the place where people downplay/spin ANY numbers to appear as they want.

kind of like this article?  6.5 million user's doesn't mean 6.5 million people use the service.  It just means that is how many people bothered dowloading it.  I'd be surprised if more than 1 million people actively used it.

Home has great potential, it's just that it gets boring really quick if you don't have any of your boys/girls on.

LMAO at some of the guys that hawk girls on there though, it's always a really good laugh. But I don't blame them, it's a sausage fest.



can't wait for Track Season 2009/2010, guna beast out!

Travis Touchdown ERECTION CONFIRMED!

Why go to home to pick up girls? Chances are they are either miles away from you or a guy in drag.

Is there anyway to check to see how many of those 6.5m users logged in this month?



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
