Nintendo gives its thoughts on Sony's Home

PS Home - Image 1After the recently-concluded GDC, the freshly-announced PlayStation Home has caught the attention of many, turning heads and raising eyebrows of even the gaming community's bigwigs.

Sony has drawn attention because of the similarity of its Home to Nintendo's Mii concept, where players can build avatars and interact with people online for social or competitive reasons. Nintendo of America PR director Beth Llewelyn commented "I think Home is very interesting, it looks like Sony is trying to figure out where their niche is.

"I saw things in there that reminded me of products that we've done and things we've done. It didn't seem something wholly revolutionary," she added.

The PR chief went on to say that on a deeper analysis, Home is pretty different from what Nintendo has been working on. "It would be something I would never do" she says.

So is Home a Mii rip-off or not? A closer look at forum posts from last year suggest that Sony might have been working on the concept a lot earlier than we all thought. You can find the link to the post in the Read link below.

Damn Sony is desprate!!! That's what I hate about Sony they have 0, none, nada, ziltch, zippo originality. Yeah I'll admit it looks good, but it's just a more realistic version of the Mii channel. When is the last time Sony thought of something on thier own?

Get a clue... Do you really think this could have been developed in a couple of months? This has been under development waaaay back, ever since XBox came with Live... There were leaked rumors of a MMORPG-style online service back in March 2005, but Sony silenced them.



No, son, I'm sorry, Nintendo are just unethically playing the victim here. The hypocrites.

you're a douche. Sony has been working on this since they began work on the PS3 years ago. I have both a Wii and PS3 and I can honestly say the Wii blows right now. There are a ton of kiddie games and no online capabilities worth a *****. I am very excited to get the new Sony Home on my PS3. I'm even trying to get in the beta thats starting in a couple months. Sony sold over 200 million consoles with the PS1/PS2 and the PS3 is going to be another huge seller once they put out a couple must have games and get this Home off the ground.

Sony Home seems more like a chill zone for the play station players. Mii characters are actually playable in other nintendo games (soon to come). Miis are more like in game avatars and such.

Home is like a lounge, well it is. Chill, hang about etc.

Miis are a fun accessory kits that are used in wii games. I don't think the HOME playstation characters will even be used in other games. So they are similar in the way you customize but that is it.

Sony need something new, so they really did well.

Nintendo are really doing well too, they have some really good titles coming from now to December.



And people that complain about kiddie games...

No More Heroes, Zelda, Metroid, Red Steel, Fire Emblem, Camelot RPG, Resident Evil, Sports Games etc and a bunch more titles arn't for children.



People class mario as childish, well it probably is. But most people never get bored of mario kart, no matter how old they are. I don't like those mario platform games as much, but mario kart is suited for all.



You people seem to forget what a game is...

You buy a game because you enjoy it, that is it. Why do you guys care who plays it etc?

It matters about YOU!



Flame me all you want, but it is true.

In an interview with Phil, they said they started the service on the PS2 but never was able to accomplish what they wanted until the PS3 came out.



Those who think that they copied the Mii are really ignorant. The service as it is now is way too polished to be from a couple months time.



I can understand it being over 1 year old but its been in development for over 2 years now. If anything, Nintendo copied Sony on a virtual avatar service.

# TrueGuest 2007-03-10 03:38
Yep, Sony has been working on this for a while now. I even took a close look to the PSPs developement. In 1998 Sony had made a statement to release a powerfull handheld device, PSP. It was originaly to come out in 2001, but the PS2 had just come out so they said NO. And how do you explain OLD ps2s interactivity with PSP? A long time back!



The Mii channel is a rip off of THe sims online. So ask your self, Did NIntendo rip of the Sims? YES they did.



And to make this sound better, the 1st actual motion sensoring was tested and released for the PS1!!!!!!



So when that Nintendo guy sais that Sony copied them, think again bud!



And last, the Gamecube, it didnt play N64, so why argue for PS1-PS2 games on PS3?



Anyway Nintendo has been triying to do good ever since Sony got BIIIGGGGG!!



Only on3 word ; PSWII!!! or Play B3yond ; or ..like..no..other



Im out, Sony is the best!!!!!!!

Finding their niche? give me a break! Sony doesn't need to "FIND A NICHE", thats something nintendo had to do because of their lack of power and interesting games that have plagued them since the days of the N64. Every other game company is viing for complete market share where as nintentdo has to go after their "niche".



Comparing home to nintendo's Mii service is like comparing a tricked out Porche against a Civic. Sure the civic will make their niche audience drool when they slap a pop-can muffler and a weak stereo system in it but it still can't compare to the awesomeness of the Porche.

I think Nintendo haver copied Sony on a lot of aspects but secretly. Like the motion - Sony had a patent for the motion controller way before Nintendo. And this PS3 Home must have been in devlopment for at least 2 years whereas the mii system a few months.

My computer is 6 months old and it can beat out any system around, and its not even top of the line. i can do more on this computer than you can do on your POS3. There are many amazing games that are coming for the Wii that are not kid games, ever hear of Godfather, Red Steel, or Call of Duty 3 (even though that is on all systems). The Wii was even called the most violent system ever.

All-in-all, the PC wins. PS3 sucks. Way too big, too much money, too many things you don't need, copier of other systems, and a whole lot more. You're probably going to yell at me going "OMG NINTENDO COPIES TOO! SO DOES TEH XBOT (Xbot? c'mon)" Who made the D-pad? Nintendo did. Who made video games? Atari. What was Final Fantasy on? NES. What was Metal Gear Solid on? NES. The analog stick is needed for 3D games so don't give me that ***** about copying about that. This "Home" service is terrible. PC has had this for a LOOOONG time. This looks more like The Sims. How about World of Warcraft? Now, I'm not a subscriber for WOW, but it's a MMO and has more things than this piece of crap.

As for the Wii, I have one and I do have to admit, it's just sitting there. The motion sensing is great on it though. If you think that this service is like Miis, then you're wrong my friend. With the Miis, you just make people. That's it! They can be used into game such as Wii Sports. I'm done ranting. PC wins

# Inflated numbers..boy glad you brought that up..Guest 2007-03-10 08:52
I guess that explains the 360 numbers. People on their 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th like Brian Crecente of Kokutu..hardly a troll like you.



"Crecente: I've gone through eight Xbox 360s. Nintendo less so, they've had their strap issues, but we've also had a few reports of other problems. But zero with the PS3."



Eight. Eight Eight. Think about that. Eight. Stunningly BAD quality.



How many more gave up trying to get them fixed or didn't want to pay $130 bucks every time because they don't have connections.. units now sitting in landfills and people out of luck. Check around and you will see just how bad it is. And yes it's still happening. From just last month..



http://geekspeaker.spaces.live.com/



Seems like Sony learned something from the few problems they had (benefits of in-house development) and MS went off the cliff in the opposite direction (benefits ? of out-house development). Eight. Of course MS will count that as shipped. Right?



Too bad they rushed it out onto the market instead of waiting (for ever?) to get it right for their customers..like they give a crap about them.. now they can just sucker them into buying it all over again 18 months later and make more money and re-inflate the numbers again.



By the way we had to buy another xbox after the first one failed ..stopped reading discs.. so I KNOW the Xbox were inflated numbers but since they sold so few who was really counting anyways...look more and more like the 360 will sell just as few..what a great investment. Not.



Of course Home and on-line is free..keep paying MS thru the nose for a lot less and for things that fail. You know .. like Vista and the 360.



At least UT3 will work with wireless blue-tooth keyboard and mouse on the PS3..looking more and more like Vista will take another year before games run reliably.

What does this have to do with Mii's? The only similarity that I see here is that you can decide what your person looks like, and that's what just about every game has. It's just plain irrational to compare the two at all. If these were silly cartoon characters even, I could see the comparison, but as far as I'm concerned, the only similarity if that you make an avatar. >.> *which has been around for over 10 years*

Developers won't be interested in the cross-gaming possibilities of sharing their Maya assets...nah...like using a Hummer you unlocked from GTHD barreling thru Mercenaries 3..nah .. they wouldn't be interested in letting specialists like polyphont build what they are good at while they concentrate on unique gameplay and have more realistic vehicle actions..nah.. and then taking it and letting users drive it around in their Home 3d world.nah..NOBODY is interested in THAT kind of interaction. Nobody.



So funny how big the denial is...which only proves how important it is.

even in some forums on the net you can have custom avatars. Sony just thought about moving forward with it. Everbody keeps forgeting Sony and Nintendo BOTH started development on the SNES-CD WAAAAAAAAYYYYY back but the two parties fell apart. Sony pushed forward WITHOUT NINTENDO and finished the work they started. Thus the birth of the PLAYSTATION. Nintendo and Sony are rival Japanese Siblings. Nintendo has been sour ever since the Playstation grew in popularity and the fact that IBM helped develop the Cell furthers it.

Then sony came around (after being back stabbed by nintendo) launched the greatest console of all time..Playstation. System that used cd roms...best sound ever...movie quality videos...what happend next? dreamcast came out w/ cdroms too...but lost...the dated n64 also lost because of lack of great games. The next gen..what happend?? PS2 launched and brought w/ it the first console that played DVD-roms...what happend after that?? the lamebox came around RIPPING OFF SONY'S IDEA and used dvd-roms...and we all know how that ended...

You do know what he's talking about was Nintendo and Sony's system that later became the playstation after Nintendo broke the contract called "SNES-CD" SNES-CD was in development before Sega-CD, I had a S-CD.



But instead of saying sony copied, shouldn't you be bashing nintendo too.



If you really wantt to get in the putting games on Cd here's some other systems that used CD: Panasonic 3D0 (doesn't it resemble "360"?) Bandai Pippin, Sega Saturn. But don't forget, who created the storage media your using now........give up? Sony. Yep.

Wrong, it really was a reaction to Sega-CD. Nintendo needed to come up with the upgrade fast, that's why they went to Sony (and afterwards to Phillips).



So, yes, Nintendo was copying Sega.

...But that's it. The rest of the stuff they nicked from Nintendo. The entire controller design is littered with stolen ideas, like analogue sticks (first seen on N64), shoulder buttons (SNES), D-Pad (Game + Watch), even the basic controller layout came from the Famicom.



And let's not even forget who made the first playable 3D game!

To be honest, for not much more money, a PC gets more RAM, a better GPU, and a Blu-Ray burner (not just a player). Better than a PS3.



Just don't waste money on Vista :P

currently blu-ray burners cost more than the PS3. Maybe if you want to spend 3 or 4 times the amount on a PC you would be accurate. But then you still wouldn't have the Cell - that can handle multiple 1080p HD videos - that choke a PC or the 360.



That's why the 360 won't ever be able to do Home - just the 3D world would tax it leaving nothing left for HD movies at the same time. Not a problem with the PS3.



And the Wii just isn't in the game.

The Wii was even called the most violent system ever.



By who, and you don't count. The godfather game was crap a year and a half ago and it's still crap now. As for COD3 I refuse to play any WW2 game that does not let me play as the chinese, they were on our side you know.

And to the guy with the 6 month old dell, it wasn't top of the line six months ago? sure you may be burning dvd's on that piece of ***** but you'll have to pay 400 for a video card to do any thing spectacular, but you do have a Wii - what the hell do you know about graphics. You think the graphics on the first xbox were good enough, you didn't want anything better.

i want to converse with ppl virtually? No.

I acually have a social life and hang out with "REAL PEOPLE"



What the hell are you doing right now moron. Besides the PS2 outsold the xbox by more than 2 to 1. So everyone buying 2 is not the reason what happened that xboys can't understand is that the old playstations had more than 3 good games. As for systems breaking, I guess you are the only person in the world who's xbox hasen't told them the brand new game they just put is was "dirty" and can't be read. Or all those people who preordered that first batch of trashed xbox 360's I'm sure they agree with you.

sure you can say they didnt copy off the mii's... or motion or analogs or any of the listed by a commentor way above me but somehow i dont think sony has been completely original in their ideas as crazy as it seems even if they have been developing it i mean... come on! its just a little similar you think thats a coincidence?

I think home is a great new feature for PS3. It doesn't justify going out and buying one for 600$ but it is a nice little thing PS3 owners can be happy for.



and to all the people saying things like "OMFG $ONY COPIED NINTENDO THOSE BASTARDS". Sony did something right deal with it. Seems like if they put put great exclusives on it you guys would still flame it. It's also called a free market economy that's what companies do. As long as it's good who gives a ***** if they copied Nintendo.



Diss the lack of online features.

Diss the lack of fun exclusives.

Don't diss Home.



Peace.
