Is Xbox 360 going to get a Home for Avatars

Xbox 360Pretty much anyone that is clued up on the current generation consoles, specifically the PlayStation 3, will be aware or at least of heard about PlayStation Home. For those that haven’t heard of it (how?), it was a conceptually impressive – arguably overhyped – socialising and community platform. According to figures released by Sony the service still receives millions of regular visitors every weeks, so it is by no means a failure.

Many have wondered if Microsoft were going suit, especially when they brought forth their Miis Avatars, which were capable of being introduced into games relatively easy. A current rumour by Gamestooge (via TSA) seems to add weight to the theories of a Home-esque space coming to the Xbox 360. They report on a survey asking people about a an Avatar meeting space, where you can play virtually socialise and play on arcade machines. Images associated with the survey feature the Atari logo repeatedly, so speculation is rife that old school Atari games may be playable.
