Microsoft Will Not Be Using PlayStation Home After All

January 05, 2009 in News comments 20

Earlier, it was reported that Microsoft was going to be one of the companies that would use PlayStation Home to hold business meetings. Now, Microsoft has denied this, saying they are not going to take part in it.

Late last week, word broke that Microsoft would be using Sony’s “PlayStation Home” virtual world to conduct business meetings. Apparently, the published reports were wrong.

    Why would they hold business meetings on HOME? Aren't the conversations on HOME recorded?

      No, I said I take your word with a pinch of salt cause you didn't even bring in any links or a source to back up your claims. Had you actually done that, I wouldn't even have commented on it. Sorry, nice try to one up me.

        You seem to misunderstand English. "Claims" would be those saying that Microsoft is using home for meetings. Slumpy monkey was expressing "doubt", not making claims.

      I like to flame Final Blade as much as the next guy - as much as it's a very bad habit - but let's think for a second. Would Microsoft openly admit to using the game/application of its rival company? The only less logical idea would be if Sony admitted to using the Wii Message System.

    Plus I'm sure that Sony could listen in whenever they wanted to without Microsoft even knowing...

    I knew it! That other article was a pile of rubbish. Yet, most people seemed to believe it.
    By the way, the source of this article isn't the original one. The link titled CVG directs to the original source.

    Knew this was BS, The possibility of MS using a competitors video service for meeting is laughable.

    It's one of those hard-to-believe-it's-true-oh-wait-it's-not stories. Anyone who fell for that needs to know more video gaming.

    MS wouldn't use a rival companies system in which the conversation are most likely recorded, to have buisness meetings, Sony would get some juicy info if that were to happen.

    Why would they ever use HOME for conferencing, it's a silly idea let alone using a rival companies product.

    This was never going to happen. I can't even see why people fell for it.

    It'd had to have been a very convincing article to try and make someone fall for it. Like throw-yourself-of-a-cliff fall for it convincing.

    Microsoft didn't want to use a slow, unweildly, depressing purgatory populated with the ghosts of disappointment as a valid business medium?

    I'm shocked! Perhaps they ran out of real virtual chairs?

    Maybe they opted out when they found out they couldn't use Microsoft points to buy business suits for their meetings.
