Home Launches On November 19, Boosts PS3 Holiday Sales?

See Full Image

It seems there have been a couple interesting Home-related developments; the first of which will appeal to those who track sales statistics like hounds on the hunt, the second of which will simply appeal to all current and prospective PlayStation 3 owners.
Let's start with the first on the list: Sony Computer Entertainment Chairman and CEO Kaz Hirai recently told the Wall Street Journal that he fully expects PlayStation Home to boost PS3 sales, and he doesn't expect the erratic economy to have an adverse effect on the next-gen console. This goes in line with recent analyst predictions regarding the current market position and the "cocooning" effect the gaming industry so often benefits from during economic lags. But nobody is surprised to hear that Home should help PS3 sales, right? What we're really interested in is when Home arrives...and that information may have been leaked. According to Australian site PC Authority, Sony plans to launch Home on November 19, which is just over a month away. If this is true, the timing is immaculate; it sets up the PS3 perfectly for the first major holiday rush in Black Friday, and should continue to give the system a boost through Christmas.
Sony didn't confirm the previous rumor that Home might launch on October 24, and they will likely remain mute on the possibility of a November 19 release. When they feel like handing out the official press release, they will do so, and we won't get anything definitive until that time. But as soon as that time comes, you will know the truth. Will it be Nov. 19...?

sounds very reasonable to me i don'[t know i won't take anything too seriously until sony actually confirms and releases home

[Plazaskater]

the best thing for sony to do is to keep quiet about these rumours.

[MR-AWESOME55]

I agree with sn-plazaskater.... Sony always seems to do very poorly in concealing secrets....

[efs5030]

yeah but it would be nice to finally release it

[playstationed]

I sure hope it does because i have been waiting for a long time and i cant wait much more to get it.

[MR-AWESOME55]

Yeah, it looks pretty neat, and in my opinion, better than that avatar thing the 360 is getting...

[vegan_mekey]

Nov 19, sure. but what year???

[MR-AWESOME55]

Lol, that's exactly what all my friends say!

home is just a gimmick it will be used at first but after awhile no one will be on there. really with all the games thats coming out who is going to really be on there an not playing those games i dont see it

[Plazaskater]

i think it will be pretty popular with some people. i guess for those who like games like sims and stuff. and want to go play pool with their virtual friend. to be honest i'll probably be spending some time customizing my apartment.

I used to be excited about Home. Not any more. It's just been too long. If they had released it a while back I probably would have enjoyed it, but I'm over it now.

mostly cuz i am tired of rumors.

if its not form sony don't post it.
