Sony: We Announced Home Too Early

http://kotaku.com/5126874/sony-we-announced-home-too-early

"Initially, there was real excitement from people, because we were showing something really different and that had a lot of potential. And then there's the realisation that, well, we probably announced it too early – GDC 07 was a long time ago. I think there was sort of recognition amongst developers of 'Oh, this is interesting, but there's still a lot of work to be done."

All I can say is DUH!!!!

Game On...

My advice for home: add a secret door in the back of the bowling alley, which is a death match arena, where players can duke it out with weapons, etc.

"crap" that has already made them $1 million with only being out what... three weeks? And only a fraction of the PS3 user base on.

We will see where it goes.

It may not be entirely original, but how can you deny that it has potential? Of course they can do lots of things with it its very open ended. They might not be important or useful, though.

ZOMG, turn it into a Fight Club where you can sort out your gaming beefs in a fight to the death.

Home would have benefitted if it was just announced and released like... in the same year? Oh but let's not forgot, it also should have you know... been finished. yoshi_64

Finished how? It'll never be finished because they'll always be adding new stuff.

this is what I have always thought. there was just too much time which means way too much hype being built which means a seemingly endless amount of waiting for something fanboys touted as "revolutionary". This is what I have ALWAYS thought was the problem with Home. It's not the fact that it's lacking, but it's the fact that with all this time, people naturally expected tons, tons more.

But I think sony announced it so early to hold on to the leashes of the hungry consumers who were all buying the 360. Sony needed to remind the consumers so that they wouldn't be persuaded to go to the competition. That is why I think there motto from the start was "360 is today, PS3 is tomorrow". We were all told to just wait when it came to sony.

I just dont understand how Sony has fell so far from grace this gen. For the once underdog that knocked out the console champion (Ninty)in the first round, Sony is walking around like an old punch drunk fighter. Wobbling around the ring stumbling over itself while under the impression they are still competitive. Regardless of my comments this gen about the PS3, I would have loved for the PS3 to rekindle a console war similar to the Genesis/SNES era were software and performance went hand in hand creating the perfect world of gaming. Too bad the PS3 is backed by a bunch of idiots in posh executive suits completely clueless of what makes a great game console.

Let's all play nice now...

It has some potential, even you gotta admit that. I sense opportunities, if only Sony would get off their "social networking" butt.

Is Sony admitting their mistakes or is this just an excuse?
