PlayStation Home Manager: Exec Was Misquoted

And finishing off the PlayStation Home priorities controversy, the service/virtual world’s community manager has told users on the official Home forum that the Sony executive was misquoted in reports that he’d said Home is “not a priority.”

From CydoniaX:

Allow me to put your minds at ease about this recent press. The coverage of what Pete Edwards said at the London Games Conference was not only a misquote, it was a misreprentation of what he actually said.

Edwards was saying that monetizing Home was not as big a priority as building a great platform, with a compelling environment and a strong community. Home is still a top priority for Sony and will continue to release quality content and provide a positive experience to our users.

And yes, we will continue working on fixing bugs, login problems, and other user issues.

Additionally, Michael French, the editor-in-chief of Develop Magazine, which hosted the event in question, tweeted to Stephen Totilo this afternoon that Edwards was in fact misquoted: “Edwards was definitely misquoted at our event. His point was that Home is a community platform first, and ‘a business’ second”

So this should all make Sony’s position on Home crystal clear. It’s not dead, it’s not going away, it’s still a priority and it continues to have the full support of the company.

    What a pile of shit.
    The guy got into trouble and now they are covering their asses.

    Why don’t they just shut Home down, what a waste of time.
