when sony announced that there were 14 million registered PN users, they totally forgot to mention that it wasn't just ps3 PSN accounts but it also combines it with psp users.

therefore, PS3+ PSP = 14million

there are over 40 millions sold through out the world (PSP) and i wonder how many are strickly for psp

And silver memberships. But I have heard of many people having multiple PSN accounts.

Even then I am sure Xbox Live blows PSN out of the water.

There are more people that play Halo 3 on LIVE than the entire PSN population.

Whatever. You just like to say things.

Everytime I play a game on the PSN it is dead. Call of Duty has some players (duh) but other than that, a ghost town.

Seriously, after playing on the PSN I begged Microsoft to make me pay $50 a year for their excellent, unsurpassed, immersive online system.

14 million registered PN users is exactly that. nothing more, nothing less.

You cant tell how many are strictly PS3 or PSP. You cant tell how many are additional accounts on the same device. You cant tell how many are one person with multiple accounts.

The same goes for other consoles.

I, for one, have both and use the same PSNID. That, in it's self, punches a hole in your logic, sorry.

The question is not how many PSN users are there, but the real question is how many PSN users created an account to actively play online?

this is what Computer Entertainment America hardware marketing director John Koller said,

"PlayStation Network has truly hit its stride with unique downloadable games and a video delivery service featuring movies, TV shows, and original programming that you can watch in HD with your PS3," Koller boasted. "And with 14 million active accounts and 273 million pieces of content downloaded, we know that you're thirsting for this digital entertainment."

Basically, you select what type of system and games you have, your progress on each game, etc. You have to update it yourself.

I am pretty sure Games for Windows Live and Xbox Live is the same thing. When I started Gears on PC, the pop up that opened for me to sign up said Xbox Live... That and it's Microsoft, they like to link stuff together. Just like Hotmail and Live.

Thats nearly 20 downloads per username. I've downloaded like 80 things but I also have more game on my system than that ratio (What is it, like 6 games a platform) so really you need to sit down and think what are people buying. I set up my PSP account under my PS3 user name. haven't played it since honestly. just haven't felt the need. So honestly, how many people do you really think took their PSP's and subscribed within the last month.

Also on that whole "multiple accounts" thing I have 1 for me and one for my brother. we both use and play them. Why should only MINE count. Thats not democratic! commie!

LOL I find it funny how lems spewed around things like "PSN sucks, it has no people on it, and you pay $50 a year for quality on XBOX live". Now, they say that Sony, one of the biggest companies in the world, blatantly lied to the public.

Well I pay for both my nephews for Live. Does that not count as two seperate users, even though they both use the same 360? If 2 people use the same PC for a subscription to WOW, does that also not count as seperate users? One person using 2 seperate accounts just does not make sense. I can see 1 person using multiple accounts on PSn, it's free. But, for 50 bucks a year, 1 person will not use multiple accounts on Live. So the Live figure counts! Live Kicks PSn in the ***. Now with the new interface, Microsoft has just owned PSn!

I have three Xbox Live accounts and two PSN accounts, so I'm sure both services have their fair share of multiple accounts.

Me, Myself, and I alone can have up to 6 (I think) accounts on the PSn, ALL FREE. Live I have to pay for each account. 50 bucks a year for each account! Which do you think is more accurate?

P.S. Silver you can't play on-line, does that count?
