Sony & Microsoft announce Virtual worlds

Sony & Microsoft unveiled their console based forays into Virtual Worlds Today at the Tokyo Games Fair . Not a lot about them in this article especially no mention of user created content

Quote:

The console kids both announced Second Life-style virtual environments at the Tokyo Game Show today. Both games show striking similarities to Linden Lab's creation

Players are represented by avatars which live a virtual life - engaging in relationships, going about day-to-day business. These can be personalised to look as similar (or different) to how the user looks in real life.

It's like Second Life! Except you can't do anything. But you can pee and kiss!

It's more like a Mii system than SL.

Well Heaven knows, the last thing we need is another system just like SL.

While Sony's Home (which has been in development forever and delayed multiple times) is SL like in some ways, the story is misrepresenting the MS side. The XBOX update is a revamp of the XBOX 360's UI. As part of that, it does now include avatars (designed by Rare) that are similar in concept to the Mii avatars on the Nintendo Wii. While there will be some group functionality where you can be together in a virtual environment and some games will support avatars, it is not a virtual world. I believe the new Netflix streaming integration will allow you to watch a movie together with friends, for example, and some XBOX Live games will have avatar support for playing together.
