Sony PlayStation Home: Social Network to Game Platform

Sony have been talking about the future and what direction it wishes to go in with PlayStation Home, it seems as if the focus will be shifted from social network to a game platform. Home was first developed as a “social network for gamers” but has gone in a very different direction.

These were the words of Sony’s Jack Buser, as he attended a meeting in San Francisco. Gamasutra explains that Buser described PlayStation Home as a “low-risk and high-margin”, he added “Home is a high definition environment where you can create extremely polished games but with very rapid development cycles.”

Buser said that Home is evolving, but its evolution depends on consumer reception. It was no secret that early impressions of Home were not that favorable, but a lot has changed in a year and there is now much more content on offer.

What do you think Sony PlayStation Home needs to try to improve things, what would be that killer app?
