Sony is shutting down PlayStation home in Japan
Can you remember the last time you logged into PlayStation Home? Neither can anybody in Japan, apparently. According to a statement released on the Japanese website, the 3D social space will permanently close in March of next year. Sony didn’t give a reason for the shuttering, but it’s not too much of a surprise, the online hub — an avatar-filled playground often compared to Second Life was never very popular, and seemingly fell short of the company’s expectations. Sony’s western divisions haven’t announced if a similar shut-down is in store for Home’s international versions. Oh, you say you do remember the last time you logged into Home? Well, take comfort in the knowledge that Sony is shutting down the service with a large-scale closing event.
