This is not a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection vs Home thread, but this is about theĀ avatars themselves.

VS.

What is better to use?

The Mii clearly has the simplicity down, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that they are easy to make and very fun to watch them play sports and stuff. But a problem is that they are disapointingly simplistic. They are not very realistic, no matter how funny they are.

The Home avatars are super realistic, which also have their good side and their bad side. The good thing is that they are very realistic and deep, so you can create almost perfect duplicates of your face. The bad part is that it's very complicated. We all know that SCE doesn't want anything to do with casuals, so they don't have to worry about making things super-simplistic or anything. But it's still very complicated to the avarage gamer, which have absolutely no artistic ability whatsoever. In order to create a great avatar, you may need more than a good idea of how you look like.

So, which is best for you?

For me, the Home avatar is very deep and because I have an artistic ability, I should be able to easily manipulate the controls until I get something I like.

So, which is best for you?

I obviously haven't tried home, so I'm not sure. But from the looks of it i'll go with Mii's. Home's avatars seem too generic ..IMO.

The home one would bore me, remind me of the times i've tried to create football players for pro evo and oh my god, it bore me to death but the mii is funny and quick.

It really depends on how long you want to take to make them.Ā  Mii's take approx. 10 minutes and it looks like you could spend a lot of time making your people on Home look like you want them to.Ā  Really two completely different things since Nintendo is all about getting people to pick up and play.Ā  Hence Mii's not being too in depth.

I like Mii's better. Not to real, more original, and simple to use too. Home reminds me of sims only you have it built-in the console........

Mii's are more fun to make. Home is cooler when you make one that really looks like you. Though I would prefer Mii's since those are real fun when you are drunk with friends and creating crazy mii's. Always a good laugh.

The Mii's look awesome and to me, seem to have so much more charm. Home's avatars are realistic sure, but they look so damn generic.......

Both are pretty pointless, but at least the Miis are used in games.

I like the Miis better. It's fun creating celebrities and cartoon characters from your favorite show. Just the other day I created Cartman from South Park. That's loads of fun. I've also seen: Conan O'Brien Chris Griffin Peter Griffin Charlie Brown Michael Jackson Borat And other celebrities and cartoons. That's just a lot of fun.

Miis are pointless..i have a wii...and i have a mii....and other than creating him...you do pretty much nothing with him... Using them in wii sports is really not that wonderful..i dont know why people keep bringing that up whenever i say this.... i wish there was more to do with them...thats why i like that Home thing sony's going for...it seems you can actually play with your craeted guy and do things involving him...

What I don't like about the MiisĀ is not enough different eyes, not enough different mouths, etc...
