Since the unveiling of PlayStation Home, there has been whispers and talks about Home copying various other games or services such as Mii and Sims. Apparently, Sony has been working on this concept for close to 3 years. Kotaku received a quote and link pointing to the concept being developed on the official PlayStation forum.

?SCEA and SOE are developing MMORPG(something similiar to ffxi) style online service for PS3 right now. It will have online pack which it comes with HDD and the online software. You can go online and chat with people like mmorpg style. Your stats will have the list of games you have and scores(or ranks) for each game, and other great things. And if you want to look for someone to play online for certain game, you have to go to this certain area(or town) for that specific game or the game will automatically takes you to that town. Sony thinks “hyper links” technology is a history. They want to create a “virtual world” for PS3 online service where people can actually interact eachother like mmorpg style. There are more great details, but this is all I can get for now. I’m not expecting you to believe me ?

The above post sounds remarkably like the current incarnation of PlayStation Home. Nobody can claim Sony copied other company?s ideas. If anything, it?s other way around.
