“Oh more people are more likely to play Killzone 2 at this time, on this day, well sweet I’ll set a reminder…”

Or “Well I might want to create the Mybuzz quiz at this time so that there’s more people to play it right away”

I didn’t happen to see the link of the figures regarding all of this and i’m not going to search for it because I don’t know what I’m searching for. Whether it’s called PSN useage statistics, or PSN Online Account Stats… I just really want to know what games are being played the most, when they’re being played the most and least, etc… and compare those with the 360’s numbers. I”m curious how the paid service statistics stack up against the free service statistics.

The kind of numbers WE want as a community are how many people REGULARLY game online with those accounts. If Blizzard kept all Diablo universe accounts they could most likely have 400 million accounts. That doesn’t mean much if only 5 million people are playing those 2 games.

We’re not doubting that there’s a legitimate number of PSN accounts which may surpass the combined totaled PS3 sales, but how many of those are actively online and being used for purchasing, for playing, etc… that’s all that matters. How they are used, not how many there are. Otherwise they are not being genuine by quoting numbers which may or may not matter at all.

Which does indeed mean that the PSN has already eclipsed Xbox LIVE in terms of online gamers……despite being a much younger service.

they don’t count sub-accounts, and Euro/girlfriend/HK are just that.

What I really want to know is why is there so many people who haven’t gone online with their PS3 yet?

US – to get the countries respective – Exclusive stuff
EU – same – Exclusive stuff
JP – for early game demo’s, LBP beta and socom beta
HK – lair demo and 6months early access to home beta
AUS – for the music download service they use to have
US – just a spare account, i thought of a good username and so i decided to make an account.
EU – used to prank a friend of mine.. i copied his PSN name, and replace the l (letter L) with I (capital i) and pwn him to death.

…free account making is whats causing this – i belive there’s a restriction of 5 master acc. per PS3 unit.

Just because you have 2 ps3 doesnt mean everyone does. they are counting accounts not units sold. if they had 31 million there flanking the 360……… which there not

Of course this is coming from someone with like 13 accounts on his PS3…

US
JP
EU
old friend’s account
his gf’s account
an account that I sometimes pull some games off of to try out
8 dummy accounts
2 ex co-worker accounts,

and a few half finished users…

I don’t know why they are bragging about those stats quite frankly.
