They revealed 17 million PSN accounts. But what some may not realize is that it is between the PS3 and PSP. I am very interested to see how many are PS3 only.

What difference does it make? The point of releasing online numbers is just to brag how popular your online setup is. It makes no difference if they are accessing the PSN from a PS3 or PSP. It is the same store.
I think the bigger question is why is Sony releasing tons of percentages and then real numbers for PSN, but no real sales numbers yet. That is the more revealing question, if you ask me.
why do you care? really, why?nc_soldierCause maybe folks are tired of these bloated, skewed, "Playstation Family " numbers Sony has been touting this gen...If Sony feels the PS3 is really on the road to gaming dominance why not show real figures (hell they could even go the shipped vs. sold route as long as the numbers are real). What people fail to realize is that gaming is now big business and in the realm of business you have knowledgeable consumers who want to know about the company they are buying products from. Only children just sit back and make requests on purchases without doing any real research...they simply "just want it"... Game On....
QFT about the multiple accounts, hell I have a PSN account and dont even own a PS3 or PSP!!!! So does that mean Im a PSN gamer as well?!?!? Game On...Other than sharing that number with PSP, there are people who have multiple accounts.

That's great, but the guy who's asking the question here isn't a ps3 consumer I belive. He only wants to know so that he can keep spreading his negativ crap about the ps3, which is sad, he should rather go enjoy his 360.... I'm myself gonna go and enjoy my console right now.

I'm interested to see how many GOLD Xbox Live Accounts there are, but it ain't going to happen.
M$ counts PC Live, Zune, Silver and Gold when counting Live memberships.

well they said a majority..........so at the very least 8.6 gold members, little more then half the total.

Why are these arguements so one sided?
Yes, some people do have multiple accounts, and also the same type of people have multiple Xbox Live Accounts too...congrats.

So, you want Sony to do what Microsoft did, and mention if it's a MAJORITY or not? That's the qualifier you need?

Truer words were never spoken. I mean some people do know Silver is free right? I have a friend who has one Gold and one Silver, and my brother's guilty of making free accounts on Halo 3. Trying to see how far he can go in one month, considering he's got nothing to do with his level 50 rank already.[QUOTE="-Sluggo-"]QFT about the multiple accounts, hell I have a PSN account and dont even own a PS3 or PSP!!!!

Trying to see how far he can go in one month, considering he's got nothing to do with his level 50 rank already.Did your brother top out at 4 accounts? Halo was a big reason why many made multiple accounts, I'm just curious how far he went. My brother made only 3, but including himself, he had a nice 4 player situation for a month.
Funny how people immediately jump on the bu bu bu but what about XBL...We are talking about Sony and its entire "Playstation Family" BS campaign its chose to hype this gen. Instead of staying on task discussing the topic, people want to deter the discussion towards something else. If you want to gripe about the 360, XBL and all things related to MS, make a topic about it. The reason Sony is in its current dillusional state with the PS3 is because of its goofy fanbase. Instead of actually talking about the issues at hand, you rather turn a blind eye and bicker about the competition, which gives Sony the impression that everythang is "A OK" in Sonyland.
So with the issue of not revealing actual PS3 numbers related to PSN it gives the false impression that the gaming network is heavily populated and comparable to the competition. As the attentive gamers everyone pretends to be, the actual impact of your console of choice might be of importance to you...or you could play blind fanboy and assume the world revolves around your entertainment center.

OMG I'm going to do that as well. Just to lock up the name so no one else takes it.it doesnt work only accounts that work are the ones made on the ps3 or store on the pc. and the psp just recently added ps store functionality so i doubt their user numbers are highly affected by the ps3 more so probably ps3 users than psp users.Other than sharing that number with PSP, there are people who have multiple accounts.

MS needs to show live accts for 360 and PC and then compare to Sony's PSN and PSP accts. Sony likes to bloat their nubmers whenever they can.
When will MS release there XBOX360 only Live numbers> Between the Xbox the Xbox360, the PC and the Zune. I am interested to see how many are Xbox only.They revealed 17 million PSN accounts.

the cows get to you. their desire to act like #2 when in fact they are #3 can make one......irritated.
[QUOTE="nc_soldier"]why do you care? really, why?Cole-Protocal
make cows feel insecure?
ha ha ha. I do find it entertaining seeing die hard fanboys squiriming and doing damage control on here. Sometimes it's more fun then playing playing games itself.I don't think they have those numbers. I don't think they separate them that much. an account is an account.They revealed 17 million PSN accounts. But what some may not realize is that it is between the PS3 and PSP.

You were expecting anything else? This is system wars after all. simple truth is there is no Cow that has rebuttal to what he is asking. It's only fair. Sony is well known for hype and broken promises.
