PlayStation Home Director Peter Edward has made comments this week that the application has hit a "tipping point" of momentum recently, hitting 6.5 million downloads.
"We do have a profit and loss on Home, and obviously revenue is an important part of it, just like with anything else. But our belief is that if you make the community happy, and get good content on to the platform - if ... [ read the full article ]

Downloaded by a few million, used by a few thousand. This article is very misleading when it comes to Home's popularity. It was low before and only crept up a little bit with the launch of Xi. Other than that, this thing is still sitting in the dry dock.
I just went on a couple days ago after many months and they've added and improved a bunch of things since the last time I played, and people are actually buying stuff from the store :P
I like Home cause it's a good place to meet strangers from everywhere and have funny convos with :)
Yeah I'll admit it sucks now for the most part mostly due to the lack of promised features, but it is technically still in the beta. That being said they're taking stupidly long periods of time with updating the core features. Still waiting on picture frames and those TV's we could stream our own video's off of.
I am on home atleast 3 times a week for a few hours. If you don't try and make friends, you are just spinning your wheels. The cool kids glitch btw...
The only thing that I don't like about home is that there is definately an elitist mentality. If you see someone with a cool hat or doing something you've never seen before, good luck finding out how and where they got it. Even if you look on the web, people like to stay hush hush about the cool stuff. Oh well.
Home is still very problematic...the spaces are designed for maybe 100 people at a time, and there are always more people than that. I still have not been able to try chess or any of the games in the EA comples...the tables are always in use. The redbull arena is kinda fun, but without the ability to actualy race or to kamakazi, it gets boaring very fast. It is a great place for clans.
