Sony: Home Will Be a System Seller
Sony’s new PS3 virtual world Home will, in time, become a console seller, according to Home’s Euro manager.
While Home will initially introduce new revenue streams for Sony through partnerships with publishers, advertisers and the likes of clothing and furniture companies, it’s arguable to what degree the application will help sell PS3s.
Dan Hill, Home service manager for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, thinks it will eventually shift consoles.
"In time I would say that Home will definitely become a reason to purchase [PS3], he told CVG. "Today, we are at the beginning of a long journey – now is the time to start its evolution."
