i think having a Second Life for your Xbox would be quite ok, as long as Microsoft and or Sony would improve its performance and scaling.

True. True. SL would be crap. I actually don’t mind the look of Sony’s [HOME] if they can scale. It just really depends on how they proceed with it if they did look into it. I think that MS is too old fashioned to attempt it though. It took them this long to figure out micropayments. If Sony doesn’t get it off the bat, I’d feel bad for them considering the home company is in Asia… the region of the world that is home of micropayments.

We didn’t see the article differently. I hope they continue to consider the possibility of a virtual world. What I’m saying is I don’t want that virtual world to be Second Life. Here’s an even better thought: a shared virtual world between Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

I took that article differently. From what I understood, Shane Kim was saying that what Sony was doing was actually more difficult and that after spending time with Linden, MS wasn’t going to consider the build because of the complexity.

They basically bashed Sony saying that it was a lot harder than it looked and that the HOME would fail.

I don’t think SL had anything to do with it except for gauging the difficulty of code and scalability.
