If you REALLY think Home will not be a huge success...

You are either a blind fanboy or just too foolish to know anything about anything.

As long as Home is not a completely glitched/flawed service, and there is no reason to think it will be, then it will be a huge success.

I am a long time "Sheep", although less so each day, and even I am honest and smart enough to admit this.

Combine The Sims, Animal Crossing, Messenger, Myspace, Youtube, Beebo, Mii's, Xbox Live and more, and you still have only a rough idea of the potential of Home to be very popular and successful indeed. It's one of thee major reasons, along with Little Big Planet, that I changed my signature a couple of months ago!

If you are seriously saying it won't be a success then you are a noob and you should prepare to be majorly owned!

Simple as that really...

-It's on a $600 system

-Sony always over hypes and under-delivers

-it's still just a system to communicate online. It may be flashy, but it offers little more than what I can get for free on the PC. 

you think much more of home than i believe it will be.

It's not the sims, or animcal crossing. it's not myspace or youtube. it's much more limited than all of them. it's just like most of the sony gaming products recently. they want to be everything but do everything worse.

Except just like with the Wii, this will be easily accessible from the comfort of your living room, and that makes a huge difference.

I mean, who really would have thought people would be looking at the weather or voting on topics on Wii, let alone services like the VC Channel or Internet Channel etc, and let's not overlook all the poplular services on Xbox Live too...

I think this kind of thing is the future of home entertainment, especially when it comes to console interfaces etc, and I just think most of you are being far too blind to the future here...

I cant wait for Home and Little Big Planet myself,I think they both going to be huge.

The communnity aspect of it is what I'm looking forward to the most,I hope you'll be able to upload your best laptimes,and favourite replays from your games.I'm not to sure about the details but I think Home is going to allow lots of uploading.

home will destroy XBL.. are you joking? do you know how much more home will have to offer then XBL.. the list is too long what makes you think it wont destroy XBL?e20Dylan

TC, you can thank guys like this for whatever flak Home may be getting.

It's maybe less than each of those games in each area individually but it is far more than any of those games when you combine everything it encaptulates...

Bullet-point #3 is where you fail. There is no other online service that offers as much as Home. Whether it really delivers on its promises remains to be seen, but if it is everything its hyped to be, it will be amazing. 

Isn't home supposed to be a Free download anyway?  

give home all the flak you want to. you cant give legit reasons as to how XBL wont get destroyed by it. who really cares if you dont like it? you will probably a buy a ps3 when home comes oute20Dylan

Did I say I didn't like it?  No, mostly because it isn't out yet.  Let's put the crystal ball and fanboy goggles away now.

Agreed. The same way GTA isn't the best third person shooter, racer, flying game, beat 'em up etc either, but its still better than almost every game out because of how well it combines all of them.

You have to pay for certain extra furniture and stuff like that, so they say, but the service is supposed to be free from the vids/articles I saw...

I'm pretty sure its similar to second life but much more limited in most aspects, except you can show off your gaming achievements

Most of the features of Home can be done on the free silver account. The people that sign up for gold (which would be millions of Xbox owners) do so for the online play. People value the online gaming more than all ther other pointless gimmicky crap on XBL. The same with Home.

XBL is a proven, reliable, supported service. It also has a 5 million strong userbase last I checked. How do you destroy that?

That point is also backed up by it's sales/numbers IMO, and also IMO that is exactly why it sells so many units to so many people, because even though I don't like it, because of the fact that no particular element is that strong, I can see clearly why it sells so much. And if people think it only sells because of adult content like swearing, violence or sex etc, well, even that is likely to be part of Home since you can use chat services and even your camera no doubt etc...

i totally agree...

and people saying it will destroy xbl are dumb....people saying it wont destroy xbl are also dumb

this means that most people will fit into the dumb category :)

Home is definitely going to be sucessful and get lots of people to buy a PS3 just like the way people are buying Wii's because of its innovative controls.

Is it inconceivable to think that these two services can coexist? 

by christmas time there will be so many features added to it and the games will be out. and most of the crap talkers on these forums will jump on the band wagon. like good little followerse20Dylan

So far the only person talking out their ass on this thread is you. Thanks for proving my initial claim though.

I never said XBL could offer anything that Home couldn't.  You're the one with something to prove, you tell me.

As much as it bugs you that people point out the truth before the proof, does that make it any less true, or is that not the point you are making, because I really don't see the point you are making here.

The Home service, barring any major disasters, should and will be huge.

That is all I am pointing out here, for the benefit of those before me who decided to say it would not be and that somehow it wasn't a good idea of didn't offer much etc...

I know, and if I came across a bit like a git that was not my intention. I'm just pointing out how I see it.

I think all 3 services are likely to be great and actually want to see what else is in store for Xbox Live and Wii's Channels plus it's online.

I just think people are underestimating the currently visible potential of Home as opposed to the speculative potential of the other 2.

Live is great but Home clearly looks like it is already going to offer that plus a lot more, in a set up that is more intuitive and has the potential to offer more fun too.

The Wii Channels could potentiall offer anything, even something like Home but with Mii's and the whole VC service is great, but right now it is almost impossible to tell just how much of that potential Nintendo and Wii will realise.

I just think people need to give Home it's dues, whether we are Sony fans or not...

I guess I am foolish then. Sure it may be good but in the end thats up to sony and if they can actually deliver on what they said and not put together some half-ass PSN sim world. Like you even said it has the potential to be successful; it also has the potential to sucks ass and just turn out be more hype and false promises made from the sony boys...we will see.

Too Bad the bolded are already mastered on the PC, which BTW doesn't require an outside $700 investment.  Home will be nothing more than a glorified internet chatroom where people's online personas are always exaggerated and overdone, and thusly, people will begin to realize what dorks they are spending all day flirting with virtual characters who more likely than not, look nothing like the person controlling them.  Do you REALLY think such an overhyped idea has the potential to replace such phenomenally successful internet mainstays such as Messenger and Myspace?  If so:
