Microsoft Working on a PlayStation Home-Like Service?
Posted by XanTium | October 11 20:32 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From teamxbox.com:
[QUOTE]
Daniel Schiappa, general manager of strategy for Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, the unit responsible for Xbox and Zune, told attendees at a virtual worlds conference in Austin that "by next year, you'll probably know more about why I'm up here."

Austin360.com reports that later Schiappa hinted in an interview that Microsoft is considering launching some sort of virtual world offering that would span across its gaming, PC and mobile device offerings.
Schiappa said that most likely, any foray by Microsoft into the world of avatars or social networking would begin with PCs, then move across Xbox and finally into its mobile phone business.

I have my doubts that anyone will use it much and I suspect it will be used more for virtual masterbation sessions than anything else.


I think that pretty much sums it up, lolz. laugh.gif

i really hope that it not just some avatar-world like PSHome - since MS actually has a great online gaming service, nobody would be there...they would be playing real games...

I still don't see what's so cool about this home thing. I'd be glad if Microsoft didn't bring this to their 360.

Microsoft needs to fix their "child account" issue first, before they take on any new endeavors! mad.gif
