SCEE may not feel PlayStation Home is a priority right now, but the opinion of SCEA differs radically. Speaking in response to comments made by Pete Edwards, U.S. PS Home director Jack Buser says the service is currently bustling with activity, with over 200 events and parties hosted in the virtual community since its soft-launch last December. Suffice to say, this isn't the first time we've seen both divisions on separate wavelengths.
In an email communication with Kotaku, Buser labels Home as a "huge priority" on all fronts, noting that "Home's growth and success is a huge priority for us from a business standpoint, a platform standpoint, a community standpoint, as well as a personal standpoint. Everyone on the team is a heavy user of Home, and we love and use it ourselves nearly every day!"
It's reassuring to hear that interest in expanding Home is still high on at least one side of the fence. The potential is there, we'd hate to see it go to waste.
