Apparently, the guys are trying to build and incorporate a Second Life on Xbox Live or YouTube, Facebook, any of those big social networking services and sites to the 360. Kim stated that it was a lot of hard work. Kim also revealed that he doubts whether Sony can achieve its online Home network for PlayStation 3; that third-party exclusives are a things of the past; and that Windows Live is the most important thing he&#8217;s working on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I doubt [Sony&#8217;s] ability to implement it and execute it in a really rich and compelling way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;PlayStation Network is not Xbox Live, it&#8217;s not even close. To think about layering [Home] on top of that&#8211;wow. The hardest part is not even creating the system, it&#8217;s regulating the behaviour and all of that too. Boy, that&#8217;s a massive investment in infrastructure. I actually believe that most gamers will always find more value in what we have on Xbox Live and now Games for Windows Live and how we&#8217;re building that out, which really started all about gaming features and now has added more like instant messaging, Video Marketplace, etcetera. That&#8217;s what I think is a much better approach, and that&#8217;s what our approach is going to be.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read the full interview <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shacknews.com\/extras\/2007\/051407_shane_kim_1.x\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a recent Halo 3 event, Microsoft&#8217;s Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Game Studios &#8211; Shane Kim revealed that he has spent some time with the Linden Lab guys (developers of Second Life).
