One of the major trends happening in the world today is the ability
for products that impact as many
people as possible in a positive manner. One of these products is the
games that perks the interest of, and
exercises the mind. There are of course many different ways that good
can come from products. Besides
the above, some companies like google, ebay, etc, create products that
allow the consumers a cut into
making a living. In these two examples, the ability to offer
advertisement on webpages, and selling stuff on
the internet. Because the human population is growing at an
exponential rate, there will probably come a
time when the amount of companies that exists to provide products to
people and hire people (to give them
an income) will reach a period of static growth and even decline in
growth because there are only so
many companies that can compete making the same widgets. So as more
and more things get automated,
it is inevitable that there will be more and more people and less and
less companies. This will lead to
major changes that needs to implemented to keep many people around the
world sustainable (living).
So it is with this trend of google and ebay that game platforms need
to be opened up to allow programmers and
people who want to sell stuff to be able to do so on these platforms.
Unfortunately ebay is not totally free to use. If Sony were to allow
Home an easy
way for people to offer products to sell (and maybe use paypal or
similar ways to make a profit), and
if the PS3 were opened up to allow people to create games (like how
the PC allowed programmers and
in the end game companies to form), then it would offer something more
of a value then just a game console.

Since the recent trend for people to purchase stuff off of the console
network, it would be inevitable that the best would be for people to
offer their software (homebrew, games, apps, whatever even other
things) off of PS3 Home. But because the console network is currently
proprietary and not free, it has to be opened up, if not in Home,
in the Linux area of the PS3 (swapped out for a better 3D OS) This
is, of course, the best feasible way in the
case that people are not smart enough to use the linux partition to
create another market place (given that the 3d rsx is a roadblock)
