That 70 minutes is the load times for the first time you go there, then how long it takes to figure out how to quit.

" Home is just a waste of time. People can use it all they want, and the numbers can say people are on it but there is no denying that Home is just a 3D chat room with customizable avatars.   I liken it to Gaia Online, but 3D. Avatars, Games, Theaters, etc. AKA a waste of time. "

If something is not work or work related then it is a waste of time. Movies, TV, Games, Sports; they are no different than Home. Some people like them and some people don't. To hate on something because it's not for you is short sighted and close minded. "

If your really into movies, games or music I would not say they are a waste of time. Movies is one of my biggest passions, I watch them, I talk about, I write about them and I have even worked on a few shortfilms for fun. If it makes you happy then it's not a waste of time! Also people is always going to hate on something and of course they are going to hate on something that's not for them. I mean what else should they hate?   Also hate is a strong word, I would say dislike or indifferent is more appropriate in this situation.  "

" @Raven_Sword:  What in your mind makes Home any good though? We've seen the stats, and whether or not they are worth anything is up for debate, but what is it that you like about Home that makes it a success? It seems the general agreement here is that it's boring and pointless. If you like it, great, but why? As far as I can tell the only reason it exists is to sell virtual goods. "

Average of 70 minutes sounds pretty pathetic. 
 
Especially since a few months ago, WoW players totaled 6 million years in total which works to more than 4000+ hours/player.

" @Kierkegaard:  Yeah, but for the OP to say it's a success is also strong. It doesn't do anything meaningful for the user. If it makes money, fine, but I'm not getting why I should care. "

17 million people hang out in Home for a combined total of 70 minutes.

I wouldn't consider Home a failure. Not completely anyways. It's definitely not something I'd want to use ever again, though. I used it once, and I ended up bugging a bunch of random people. I think I may have trolled. I was a bad person.

So, since Home started, only 17 million unique users have logged unto it?
 
And among those people, they only average out 70 minutes? Since the thing started? No sir, I would not consider that a success.

 This though is poor math. The total amount of time is from anyone who has ever played WoW, and then they divide that number by current players.   4000 hours is 6 hours a day, every day, for two years. I doubt that is the average amount of time people spend on WoW. "

From an article posted on December 30th.

This is the reason why we haven't cured cancer yet -- we're spending 600 million collective hours playingCall of Duty: Black Ops. Over 20 million players have amassed the ludicrous figure in a mere 45 days following the game's launch. 

Averaging out the number gives each player roughly 87 minutes of playtime per day from release until December 24. Evil publisher Activision is keen to point out that this far exceeds the average amount of time Facebook users spend networking their socialisms. 

Gamasutra compares Black Ops' figures to Halo: Reach, which logged 50 million hours of play in its first week. If those numbers remained consistent for 45 days, Reach would have logged 326 million hours compared to Black Ops' 600 million. 

Activision has not released the full number of online players, but has stated that the number of registered users outnumber those who tuned into ABC to watch the Lost season finale. 

In short: This is f*cking insane.
