Habbo Designer: Online Communities on Consoles Unlikely
By Shawn on Thursday, September 27th, 2007 at 4:42 PM PST In Game Consoles

Sulka Haro, the lead designer of Habbo Hotel a virtual world where teens can socialize online, has doubts about the viability of online communities in the current generation of consoles. It’s not that he doesn’t believe they are possible; the consoles have USB ports for keyboards. It’s just that most gamers don’t take advantage of this ability.
“Habbo is really all about the role-playing. If you can’t chat, you can’t role play,” he said.
Although a port of Habbo to consoles is possible, the company has no immeadiate plans to move in that direction.
“Also, one thing you have to remember is that we are targeting young people,” said Haro, noting Habbo Hotel’s popularity with teenagers. “Typically, those are not the people who have the latest consoles.”
“PlayStation 3, Xbox 360…those are for people who are seriously into gaming. I don’t know how many 13 year-olds have a PS3, but I bet it’s not too many.”
Haro also agrees with Daniel James’ comment that Sony Home is “a world with a USD 600 entry ticket.” That type of virtual community doesn’t appeal to him and he’s not sure how many PS3 owners it would attract.
“At least in the demo I saw, it was this pretty clean Sony world,” Haro remarked. “You’re able to buy a virtual Bravia television that does not break. That’s kind of funny, in some sense, but a bit too clean.”
“It was too polished, somehow. I don’t know. It didn’t feel like I’d really call that place my home.”
