CHIBA, Japan -- Video game rivals Sony and Microsoft are going head-to-head in virtual worlds for their home consoles later this year.
Both companies announced their services, which use graphic images that represent players called "avatars," Thursday at the Tokyo Game Show.
Sony Corp.'s twice delayed online "Home" virtual world for the PlayStation 3 console will be available sometime later this year, while U.S. software maker Microsoft Corp., which competes with its Xbox 360, is starting "New Xbox Experience" worldwide Nov. 19.
Benjamin Rivers has suggested that it is “totally possible” for two of his titles — Alone With You and Home — to be ported to Nintendo Switch.
I recently published an article about beating my Steam backlog by getting organised and the first game I’ve completed with this new approach is Home.
I chose Home not because of its production values or reviews, but because, well, it’s short. I needed a game to start my new approach on the right foot and read that Home takes less than two hours to beat.
Whatever my reasons for finally installing Home, I found it to be an enjoyable yet flawed title.

What virtual communities. On the Sony yes, on microsoft's xbla, No, I don't see it as a virtual community at all (Thanks god! - Next thing I know, someone'll be throwing a virtual sheep or custard pie at me).
Sony: Sometime later this year
We all know what means.
Japan Dec 27th 2008. North America June 2009. Rest of the world Dec 2009.
Ofcourse, I'm being sarcastic.
But I thought it was interesting that this comparison is being made between Home and MS's new Avatars.
If this source is doing it, I'm sure many others are as well.
