I have uncovered the secret to Wii manufacturing… you take two GameCubes and some duct tape.” Both magazines saw the impact of Sony’s major and virtual social space PlayStation Home, with claiming that they “eclipsed anything its rivals had to offer”, though felt that “the developer audience was not bowled over by [Home], perhaps already foreseeing being pestered by marketing departments keen to take advantage of the fully physics-modelled, interactive 3D display space Home offers”.
