Playstation Home delayed again?

It looks like PlayStation Home’s going to be delayed again. SCE president Kaz Hirai has said the launch date ‘doesn’t matter’ and that it won’t launch till everything’s perfect.

The Sony boss, who was speaking to MCV, attempted to reassure gamers that a delay was for their own benefit.

“I’d much rather make sure we take the time to have a great service rather than rush something into the market – only for consumers to say: ‘This is not enough for me.’ I want to avoid that.

If we have the right service, it doesn’t matter when we launch – so long as it’s in a reasonable timeframe.”

With Microsoft unveiling their avatars on the Xbox 360, Sony’s got more competition than ever in the ’social gaming’ space, but Hirai believes PlayStation Home is something else. Something special.

“Given the fact that I’ve delayed the launch of Home twice – for which I’ve apologised – I think I’ve done it for a very good reason, and that’s because I want to bring the very best service possible to consumers around the world.

We’re very confident in when we do launch the open Beta service, it’s something that will really resonate with the consumers.”
