i have three ps accounts for the *** and US store ;)

But then again, PS = freeeee

xbox = pay  

Although i am sure most people on here with a PS3 have two accounts, just because they have played the Sigma demo ;P

If you have 3 accounts, how many others have multiple accounts? Maybe 1.5 million is a solid number after all...

 

But still, it's free, I'd expect there to be more users than something you have to pay for. That is, if the PS3 can get to 10 million units sold/shipped...

I don't really understand that sense Xbox Live had a few million prior to the 360 launch...

I really don't understand why people use stuff in time frames to compare. It's about here and now. Not about a year back and not about a year in the future. It sounds so childish too. 'I get 15 bucks a month! - Yeah, well I get 60 bucks a month. - Yeah, but I got my job 6 months ago, you have yours over 1,5 years so that doesn't count!'

The simple truth; 6 million > 1,5 million.

And no matter how much you want it to be false; loads of games > not too many games > just wait theories.

Do you not understand that at this rate PSN accounts should overlap Live as more PS3's are sold? It makes sense to me. And considering the fact that PSN is free, no wonder the number is climbing so fast. I doubt that it will stop.

Thats complete BS, 360's online attach ratio is over 60%. Which would mean 6,000,000 people are on live. Heck the last 24 hours on Halo 3 alone have seen 700,000 users.

its really only a matter of time before ps3 has 360 beat at every single thing out there... the 6 month marks have bene proven for sales and other things. by january 2008 you will see. sony has said they would release 41 PSN titles and 100 titles by january 2008. id love to see what the lemmings say when that happens. cant cry about our online cant cry about our games price drop will have happened by then cant cry about that. gotta find something to cry about... oh wait you will have bought a ps3 by then and jumped on the bandwagon. good game

Probably because more people are willing to make a free account than one that costs money.

I don't know what Sony gets from PSN, but I know MS probably makes up for some lost profit with Live numbers.

How about logical comeback?
How does that NOT make sense?
Do you think Myspace would have 1 billion profiles if you had to pay 3 bucks a month for it?

Of course this was going happen. I think the PS3 will eventually surpass the 360, so no lemming calling, OK?

That's great, tell him not to stick the console in a cramped entertainment cabinet... then again, I doubt he has the brains to realize what he's doing.

i dont understand, is it talking about the Frist 6 months of when XBL first launched? or the 360? cuz either dosnt make sense, for one, Silver was offered when XBL launched, and 2nd didnt MS announce like a 60% of 360 users already connected to live? and i know 360 has sold more than 1 million in the first 6 months

LOL, at people talking about multiple accounts. Do you realize how FEW people actually have multiple account most likely.  It's only people like us who roam around on these mesage boards that will have multiple acconts.

Sure XBOX Live is better, but is it $50 better? I just don't care enough about online enough to actually pay for it. Not to mention Sony is continuously closing the gap between Live AND PSN. In the end though I think Live will always be a little bit better, not that I care.

and? XBL is updated Daily and throughought the day, also with TV and Movie content coming out every Tuesday and Thursday.  Home is gonna be awesome but they just have to do something to keep the players on it everday for a very long time, otherwise it will just get boring and be another  "Sims"

A problem with Home is how many microtransactions. From what I seen it kinda looks like it would be full of them.

you should have read the article more closely, the 500,000 XBL accounts include silver too.
