Sony Executive was Misrepresented on PlayStation Home Priority

Last week it Edge reported Sony's Peter Edwards as stating that, "It’s not a priority right now but there is a business model there", with regards to PlayStation Home. We reported on the report.

Shortly after, a poster called B told our Forum: "I've seen many things misreported from the LGC panel talk, but I think this is going too far now. I was there, so I know exactly what the guy was saying.

"He was talking in regards to making money in Home. He said that making money is not their priority for Home, that they are making some - that there is a business model, but that's not what they're trying to do. They're trying to build a community."

Sony via a PlayStation Home manger called CydoniaX, has also followed up the report in its forum, and we're reporting that as well:

"Hi Home Community,

"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 (sic) 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.

"Hope this helps!"

We hope that helps as well. Once again, thanks to Forum poster 'B'.
