Actually, I'd say this game is targeted towards a vast majority of the Wii's base. Kids, girls of varying ages, grandparents, etc. I don't see how you can enjoy the Wii offers and not want to experience a game like this though.

But I might give this a shot, when the ps3 version is released can you use your pc account on it?

This is a very good light-hearted MMO to play with my girlfriend, but Im a linux user and I hate to boot MS crap Vista. Waiting for the PS3 version here. BTW, those numbers say that when you go casual MASSIVE stuff happens.

I've always thought PS Home should have had more of an MMO feel rather than a Sims or Second Life. Home is shying away from the later two more with each new Home space added, but again it needs to become a place for gamers to play games. The interaction part is already there they just need to get the games their to make it for gamers.

Home needs a huge arcade space where you can get together and play classics like Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, and more against other gamers. This is the first step (after the E3 space, and possible Lipzig, and TGS spaces) Home needs to take to get more people consistently in Home.

After that Home needs to become more seamless. You should have to load EVERY room you enter. It should be walk up to the mall wait a maximum of 5 - 10 sec. and boom you're in. No wait would be great, but realistically if the arcade space was added there would be MILLIONS on Home and no loading just wouldn't work. So maybe a huge install would be ideal for less loading and downloading every room.

After that Home needs to expand. The Home Xi or whatever it was called, is a good starting place (poorly executed but good idea). Make little quest in Home where you and other gamers can obtain awards and Home prizes like arcade cabinets. Make them MMO like.

Next expand to the casual. Game like Afrika should be part of Home. I've said this a million times Use Google or whoever and recreate rendered versions of major cities around the world and allow gamers to tour these cities. Or purchase items from the different PSN regions in our language from this home app (Now that I said this Home needs to be like an app store except the spaces are the app's and they should be free to download).

After that add a new mode of transportation. Walking can be a little slow sometimes, so a bike, scooter, or those things with the two wheels that mall cops ride on would be nice.

All of these things WILL make Home a better place.

I wish Home was more like an MMO. What if trophies were added and their were quests and whatnot...pretty sweet in my opinion. If there was a larger install size, perhaps loading could be cut down as well. I'm sure it will evolve into something, and hopefully more fun.

Edit: I'm pretty sure Free Realms will do very well once released on the PS3. I only wish there was a version for a more mature audience. Also...watch out pedophiles, I will hunt you down! (report to police)

its a very low power game, that runs in your browser, so almost any computer can run it

Runs in the browser, downloads like a 50mb file, and then everything else is on the fly. It actually runs better than Home surprisingly.

I don't know about that. You really think so? That would be nice but this would be the first MMO on consoles this gen in NA & EU and I'm not sure how the console base will embrace this genre. I think the genre will do just fine initially, especially with the business module most console MMO developers have chosen to go with, but to do similar or way more than on PC? Wow, that would be great but I have my reservations about that.

Even though this isn't my kind of game (not the genre but the game environment itself) I'm still going to get the game. Hell it's free and I'll likely show sort of support for it, to promote the genre on consoles, and buy an item or two even though I don't' think I'll be playing this game past the initial tasting of the game.

lol u agreed with me in the end, you would be surprised how many people will do the same thing, I am still surprised how many girls are on home one's I have verified with voice chat, and they love microtransactions remember home paid for itself (dev) within a month and the selection of stuff to buy was abysmal but with left over change in my wallet i bought a shirt anyway, it works if they promote it on psn most will try it.

Dude, by lumping all hadcore gamers together you're being pretty closed minded yourself aren't you? While I get your point(I agree with your assertion about the Wii and that often people don't see what's in front of them)I can't say that your taste in games automatically makes you blind.
