Sony: 20 Million PSN Users, 4 Million Home Users Posted by XanTium | 26-2-2009 20:00 EST

From spong.com: [QUOTE] Sony Computer Entertainment Incorporated (SCEI) has released user numbers for its free-to-join PlayStation Network. "...the cumulative number of registered accounts on PlayStation Network worldwide has exceeded 20 million as of February 20, 2009", it says. This compares to the 17 million declared by Microsoft for its Xbox Live service. Apparently 56% of Xbox Live users - as of February last year - paid for the service . We are also provided with some figures regarding content. This includes the user figures for Home - not in this case called Home Beta, we note. "PlayStation Home launched its service in December 2008 and in less than 2 months, the number of users has exceeded 4 million", is the detail. [/QUOTE] Full Story: spong.com

Like I said, I'd like to see actual numbers of people that use the service at least once a year. Xbox has actually released those numbers. 17 million live accounts(this means nothing, I have 4. It's the 56% that actually pay for it that shows proof. that is 9.25 million people pay for the service, so they actually use the service regularly. the PSN account numbers are BS cause I bet they count the account that I haven't touched in 3 years it's just fluff to make them look like they are doing well. Let's wait and see how the PS3 sells this week with KZ2, this will be hopefully be a huge week for them.
