PlayStation Home Over 6.5 Million Served
In a recent interview of Peter Edward, the director of the PlayStation Home Platform Group, with GameIndustry.biz, Edward discusses and answers questions pertaining to what people are doing in Home, microtransactions, and the overall launch of the Home open beta.
One very intriguing tidbit was that, since the open beta launched in December of 2008, the Home client has been downloaded onto over 6.5 million PS3′s worldwide. Peter Edward also went on and stated that a good amount of Home users actively logging back in.
With new game spaces, features, and even live press conferences coming and taking place in PlayStation Home, we honestly are not surprised. As new features and addons continue to be added to the platform, Home will continue to grow and will undoubtedly compete with the online offerings of the other consoles.

people shit all over home, but people are using it.
Compete with the online offerings of the other consoles?
You mean compete with Microsoft… there are no online offerings of other consoles.
You have PCs which are mostly PCs and you have 360s. Wii doesn’t have an online offering. It has single player offerings with a few sprinkles of online, but no online offerings. Pokemon and Animal Crossing are the 2 best Online Wii experiences I can think of. Neither one are that great.
PCs aren’t consoles… so that leaves the 360. We’re not that far from them either. The invite systems in Resident Evil 5, voice chat, and game launching will pretty much nearly match the Xbox Live Gold experience tit for tat. Add the stuff in Home and some other tidbits here and there… and it’s a better experience.
either way, that’s a lot of people for an open beta that started in Dec. 2008.
they need more game launching.. i think they should add game launching without having to need a home space.

Lol, sorry man! I was just giving credit to the Mii’s :p
I won’t let it happen again.
I should have specified SOCIAL online offerings.
That is an impressive number.
LOL Great title for this article. Trexman is right, though… people are so hypocritical sometimes.
