wouldn't be that far from the truth at all, since the euro, jap, and usa stores are completely different the vast majority of the psn user base has at least those 3 accounts


This inspired me to research. Now it is time for numbers! It turns out Sony released some very relevant information very recently. http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/01/27/sony-over-69-million-playstation-network-accounts/ By their numbers over 80% of PS3 users have at least one account. That is 40 million accounts by todays count. (50*0.8 So the 35 million number is complete bullshit based solely on the number of PS3s that are active on the internet.

What we see here is actually what you would expect. Power users gravitate towards message boards, and create multiple accounts. Regular users do not. The number of people directly affected will be obscured probably forever, but it sure as shit ain't the number this article uses.
