Here's a link to a post made early 2005 at Playstation.com verifying that Sony's HOME was in the works way before Mii was ever announced. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=14848 "SCEA and SOE are developing MMORPG(something similiar to ffxi) style online service for PS3 right now. It will have online pack which it comes with HDD and the online software. You can go online and chat with people like mmorpg style. Your stats will have the list of games you have and scores(or ranks) for each game, and other great things. And if you want to look for someone to play online for certain game, you have to go to this certain area(or town) for that specific game or the game will automatically takes you to that town. Sony thinks "hyper links" technology is a history. They want to create a "virtual world" for PS3 online service where people can actually interact eachother like mmorpg style. There are more great details, but this is all I can get for now. I'm not expecting you to believe me " 06-03-2005

Yeah, this isn't like the SixAxis. Something like PSHome takes way too much work and years of dev time to complete. Sony only stole the SixAxis, but not Home.

You're right sony didnt steal home from Nintendo. Huh? Where did that come from? Even I won't stoop to that lol.  Ultimitly Home is self-defeating & useless but thats another topic (how many casual gamer sare gonna be pissed when they find out they have to supply their OWN headset & keybaord for itneracting with home at their own cost out of THEIR pockets to use sonys 'free' service.

Btw, as soon as I saw the but baout ads & microtransactions Iwas like"pass! This stinx!"

They had the idea for it, but they never implemented it until Nintendo announced the Wiimote. One of the student groups in my senior project class in college put together a fully functional motion-sensing controller in less than four months, and we were only undergraduates. I'm sure Sony's multi-degree holding engineers could do the same in half the time. Yet when they showed off Warhawk at E3, the Warhawk devs had only had it for a week? Yeah, right, that's convincing.

Now all the Wii Fanboys can STFU because one ounce of proof is worth a ton of BS. I'd like to see a single Wii fanboy try to go up against this proof.

No I think its the opposite way around, Nintendo had a spy in SCE and they stole the bulk of the design concepts for HOME, but because the Wii was too slow to handle the real deal, they settled on making a crappier version instead.

"Microsoft is going to team up w/ Sony to beat the Wii"

See, I can speculate myself! It doesn't make it true, but your "one ounce of proof" isn't much more credible than my 1st statement.

They're both forum posts, if you don't understand.

I do believe you have been owned sir.

Yeah but this was a statement made over 2 years ago, If I could accurately predict the JackPot Number of the lottery then when my prediction comes true it's no longer just a statment but it becomes fact. I hope that wasn't over your head. It's a simple matter of logic. most statements are derived from some form of fact or logic and if time shows them to be true then they become fact. Im sure E=MC2 from Einstein was at one point simply a notion a guess but an educated one at that, but once proven it becomes fact.

The cruel reality

1) Sony Owns the gaming industry

2) actually they copied both , the motion sensing and the miis

3) No one can stop us NO ONE , Company's like Nintendo are nothing more than lesser allys in a big war against strong enemy's like MS___!

4) Sony can not be stoped by ANYONE :twisted: ,----(Evil Laugh)----

Saying Sony stole Miis is just stupid.  PSHome is nothing like Miis.  The Miis are cartoon people you can use in certain games.  PSHome dudes are avatars for....well, PSHome.  And they're realistic.

I am aware of that, but as you know, humans will make predictions, like the poster on the link. Many SW posters predict games will flop (ie. Motorstorm and Twilight Princess), but since the poster on your link refused to give his source when asked for it, there is no proof that he is a sony employee. There's an overwhelming chance that it was just a lucky guess. Unless if you can find a Sony press release or statement from back then, then in my eyes it will be a lucky guess by a random person.

That's false. In theory, Mii's can do more than what PSH can do.

Sony didn't copy motion-sensing, and in fact developed it before Nintendo. http://www.digg.com/gaming_news/Sony_GripMote_in_the_works_before_the_Wiimote Sony didn't copy the Miis either, as proven here. As for acheivements, who knows?

Then I guess Einsteins theory of relativity was also just a lucky guess, sure he ended up being right but hey who's to say that it wasn't just a shot in the dark. You do realize that in press unlike science it's against the rules to give out your sources, if the person had indeed guessed then thats one hell of guess. I'm more inclined to believe that Einstein guessed his theory, than this guy. Believe what you will, but your arguments sounds like it's contorted by the mind of a Wii fanboy.

How many times do I have to say this, they aren't the same, so in no way either were copied/copied themselves. Mii = Games mainly. Home = Community Feature

man what is it with you guys and copying... ya its possible that sony just copyed nintendo for both things...but does that matter AT ALL??  if sony made a huge halo rip off wich used almost the same level designs and gameplay but the game got perfect scores from every review site there is would it be a crap game because sony copyed microsoft, no its just a reason for morons to hate sony
