Advertisers Abandoning PlayStation Home - console
(hx) 10:25 AM CET - Feb,26 2010 - Post a comment / read (3)
Edge Online reports that advertisers are abandoning Sony's Home platform in favor of Xbox Live.
According to Brand Week, advertisers have abandoned PlayStation Home and are looking increasingly at Microsoft’s Xbox Live service instead.

The report says that Sony used last year’s Engage Expo to showcase PlayStation Home to advertisers. A year later though and Sony sat the conference out. “The product has disappointed both users and advertisers,” says Brand Week. “In fact, Red Bull remains one of the few non-endemic advertisers to carve out space in the world.”

The publication adds that for some digital buyers, Home exemplifies Sony’s slow-footed nature when it comes to embracing advertising. And compared to Microsoft’s Xbox Live, PlayStation Network is seen as lagging.
So there's a few reasons that advertisers aren't filling out the Home space. The first has to be cost. Making a high quality interactive 3d space cannot be cheap, regardless of how lenient Sony may be for their quality bar. Second there's not a whole lot of reason beyond just exploring the space for spending time there. The Home games are improving but they are still far from being go-to experiences. There may be archetectural reasons for this, like latency and reserved buttons on the controller, limiting input...

Personaly i don't care about advertising in home. I get enough in REAL life to garner info whether i want it or not; buses,billboards,papers, dvd trailers, the friggin' tv is saturated in it. If i want game or film info i get that online, so it's no problem.
Must be an American thing?
I certainly never went around in Tom Clancy gawking at posters on boards!

Playstation Home, couldn't give a rats ass. Playstation store, I spend time in looking through deals etc. Microsoft can take all the advertising for all I care. LOL! Less advertising on PS the better. Yes we are saturated with advertising in America too. You watch a program and there is literally more commercials than the show. Sick because in most cases it just turns me off of the products being advertised.

Exactly for me, If there are alternatives, I'll buy the other one, at least then I know I'm not paying extra for those lousy ads.
