Microsoft Working On Home Rival?

According to recent reports Microsoft E&D GM Daniel Schiappa has hinted that a PlayStation Home style virtual world will be coming to Xbox 360 within the next year. Microsofts Chris Satchell had the following to say:

It's a cool world but it's like a little game by itself. Our approach is the other way around; it's that games are the center and that's the star of the show, that's what people buy the console for.
Last part of that quote about summed it up for me.

Sounds interesting, I wonder how it'll turn out though. The whole MMO Sims style of Home, doesn't really interest me that much.

Microsoft have stated that it wont look like a game in itself but will be a system that incorporate full retail games into it more.
