Sony failed.

With the New Xbox Experience coming in a couple weeks, Microsoft brought the casual experience home before Sony did.

And they did it in far less time!

Sony unveiled their Home program with the Mii's earlier this year, and Microsoft already beat them to the end with a new program with their own Mii's!

And Sony's Home is still nowhere to be found.

Unfortunate really how a slow development time can ruin your megatons.:(

The majority of PS3 owners will not even use Home. The 360's "mii's" don't look that great either.

A.) Are we assuming that "casual gamers" are five-year-old kids with the attention span of a lollipop and a fondness for goofy "avatars"?

B.) Sony's not forcing it on the consumer. :wink:

I don't mind Microsoft changing the Dashboard Interface, and I've seen videos and it looks quite nice. I just hate those stupid avatars.

Your a microsoft fanboy. You only see things one way in your narrow-minded head of yours. How can your opinion ever possibly be taken seriously. PS3 owners will realize the fact that Home is pointless, and just not play it. Trust me. Oh, if you havent caught it. Home is optional.

The failure began with the price of the Ps3 and then the lack of genres it lacked with. Home is a complete joke, they should've utilized something unique like facebook or other unique applications instead they have some weird virtual world that's lifeless. Home is nowhere like "Home"CleanPlayer

Good job, Sony!

Sony should have played it much closer to the vest. I fully understand why its taken so long, but Sony mucked it up by announcing it in what, 2006, and still not having it out.

Announce it when its much closer to launch, not when its still a concept.

One of Sony's probelms is they announce things so far off in time that they piss people off. Like why announce something that's going to be loaded with delays when they should announce something close that is prepared to actually make it's release date. Have they ever made a legitmate relase date without some sort of delay. Look st what Microsoft and Nintendo are doing. At least they deliver.

Home is like 3 times bigger thats why it took so long and its still coming this year.Hitman533

Home is far too ambitious.. And to top it off, Sony has no where near the user-base they need to make it successful. By the time Home releases, the new xbox experience will have stole most of it's thunder. OhSnapitz

Right, approximately 16 million users isnt a big enough fanbase for home :? By all means feel free to explain you logic or lack there of :( If sony had 10,000 users online, thats more than enough for home. Its not like WoW or Warhammer where server population dictates how enjoyable the game is. Home is an extra feature you are free to use. Even if you only see 100 people on home, it wont hurt you much because you can still join and play games with people who dont have home :|

M$ has been out a full year longer than Sony, so they actually did it with MORE TIME. Still, I hear what you are saying, Sony's ambition was a bit much, but from what I'm hearing, HOME is coming when NXE hits.

You may actually want to make this thread when one or the other actually is out.

Home is like 3 times bigger thats why it took so long and its still coming this year.Hitman533

And it was coming in early 2007, middle 2007, late 2007....

No excuses, point blank, Sony dropped the ball on Home in a huge way.

Sony did drop the ball, but lets be honest here. Would you have rather had a broken Home released prematurely, or waited for a working version? Im willing to wait for quality...I just wish other companies realized that and didnt release broken products... *cough*stalker*cough*microsoft*cough*

The PS3 is failure because its not any better when it comes to games then the 360.

Plain and simple. It was supposed to "smoke" the 360 and yet it can barely compete.

Me personally? Neither. I have no desire to use Home. Frankly, it looks dull and uninteresting to me.

And what difference does it make what the excuse is? In the end, Sony hosed their own product before it even had a chance.

Avitars are not force, they're optional.

But the rest of the horrible update that organize the 360 dash board better for ease for locating things on the 360 and xbox live, makes the interface fast and allowing Netflicks in HD with a hdvi, vga or hd component cables are mandatory.

Oh what horrible things that they force on us. What ever will we do?

lol a year isnt really that long in the video game world. most games take longer to develop and home is basically being made like a game with all the different features and ideas they're putting into it.desyple

A year is a huge time frame for a product that recieved the attention that Sony showed to Home. You don't hype something up, and then letit sit for a year+. That kills all momentum and excitement.

The NXE isn't adding anything really, at least home is like a game....NXE is just a Needed graphical update, and it makes people like me angry that avatars are required.....

What ever happened to avatars are optional

Well, quiet a few people are still excited about it so I dont think they hosed they own product before it even had a chance. While you may not care much for Home, alot of people will be interested in it. I know one of the main reasons my sister is buying a PS3 is for LBP and Home. Seems like a waste, but she is one of those people who played The Sims just to make a house, and then they never really used the characters. Home does sumthing that makes alot of MMOs popular, allows user customization. In the online world, everyone wants to be different. Home allows you to create your own unique avatar, dress them up in your own unique clothing, and decorate your own unique home. This is very popular with alot of gamers! Contrary to what you may think, stats arent the only reason people on WoW want Illidans armor. Its also a status symbol, and it looks badass. Same applies to home. If you unlock new furniture or attire depending on which games u play/ how well u do in a game, I could see this being very popular with gamers.

Beating a game qould be akin to completing a raid in WoW then when you walk in your Home square you could show off your new "gear" to everyone around you. I think Home could be very popular. You may not be excited, but alot of people are.

NXE is fail. there's nothing to it other than movie rentals which could be loaded in a patch, they don't need this metrosexual avatar B.S.

So, Sony failed just because of New Xbox Experience coming out?! Are you kidding me? :lol:GaMeR_Willz

You are kidding yourself.

Sony failed to bring it's community solution before Microsoft, even though they announced theirs first. Because of constant delays, Microsoft won the race.

No they did need the visual upgrade the blades were very laggy and clunky

I lol'd Too true, Willy, too true.Jandurin

me too

I agree, Sony did fail. They were coming in with the biggest brand name and they have barely kept up in sales, and that they even managed to do that is based solely on brand name alone (some people will always stick with a certain brand just because they are loyal)Heith

coming from a fanboy right here....

Fanboys.

Do you really need to bash the Playstation Home? When 360 copies everything form nintendo and Sony?

The only innovation i see from 360 is its online, which already on teh xbox.
