MMO will be out in time for festive season

Sony Computer Entertainment exec Shuhei Yoshida, the new chap in Phil Harrison's role as WorldWide Studios boss, has said he hopes to see the Home social networking world for the PS3 released by Christmas.

ThreeSpeech asked the big cheese if the new MMO will be out in time for Christmas, to which Yoshida replied: "We certainly hope so... every indication is positive."

He continued: "With the timing of the launch, we’ve always set target dates, such as the end of last year or spring of this year, but our problem is always implementing features, testing with beta users, getting feedback and making modifications.

"When we become confident that it is good enough to make it available to all users, that would be the right time. We have been making good progress, but recently, we have been thinking that this fall is the timing we will work towards."
