SCEE: PlayStation Home No Longer A Priority, At Least For Now

Remember PlayStation Home? We’re not sure if you log-on the service regularly anymore, but at one point in time, it was a pretty big thing for Sony, being touted as a cross between a virtual world and social network for PS3 owners. Fast forward to today and we rarely hear about it at all, aside from the infrequent addition a new Home space every now and then. Not to mention, updates on the service have been few and far between as of late. Has Sony placed Home on the backburner? It seems so. And for now, the answer is yes, according to director Pete Edwards.
It’s been a long road. We’ve proved there is a market out there and we’ve got a lot of people that spend a lot of time in [Home]. It’s not a priority right now but there is a business model there.
Going forward, it seems we can expect developments to move slow on the Home front, as Sony is clearly placing its priorities elsewhere.
