Speaking to Edge at the London Games Conference, Sony’s Pete Edwards has admitted that PlayStation Home no longer has “priority” status, saying that the firm has proved that there is a market for the online community and no longer sees its development as its first concern. “It’s been a long road,” he said. “We’ve proved there is a market out there and we’ve got a lot of people that spend a lot of time in [Home].”

“It’s not a priority right now but there is a business model there.”

We’ll try and clarify.
