Sony’sHomehas been delayed yet again, this time until Spring of 2008.Homehas been billed as bringing the finest parts of an MMO, the XBL achievement system, a media browser and three different kinds of delicious fruit to the PlayStation 3, but since itsoriginal reveal at GDC 2007the hype surrounding the product has been gradually waning — currently its anticipation level is somewhere between “your first period” and “your dog’s first period”.
While Sony’s keynote did havea few high notes, the delay ofHomeseems to be yet another nail in the sole of the Japanese firm’s bare foot as it slowly walks across the construction site that for the purposes of this metaphor represents the gaming industry. While Microsoft seems to be wearing comfortable work boots, and Nintendo is high on PCP, Sony is a few hours away from developing Tetanus and falling through a poorly constructed layer of drywall.
