"Sony also announced that sales of PlayStation Plus subscriptions on PlayStation®Network increased 259% compared to last year’s Black Friday period. In addition, since the Instant Game Collection was introduced earlier this year, customer satisfaction rates for PS Plus are above 95%."

PSVita and many PS3 bundle deals contained PS+ subscriptions. That could explain it.

Either way this could end up paying off if even 25% of those retain their subscriptions.

we just need one to select no, and we will on track with the statistics XD

EDIT: We got another yes FUCK! >_< 

XD

i really wish they would give out actual numbers of PS+ subscribers

This is good..and well deserved. Even if these numbers include the giveaways...at least a portion of them will be retained for certain. The service is bloody fantastic

I've had my PlayStation for over 4 years but just became a PS+ subscriber this past month! The games and the fact that it extends to the VITA as well did it for me. The deal is too good to ignore. Loving Gravity Rush on the VITA, didn't think I would like it but it's actually a Great game!!

Glad to see the service is well received.

It really makes me wonder how this service is even profitable for Sony.
I like free stuff, but how is paying a chump change (compared to provided value) for it can be sustainable? I just feel that they won't keep it going for long.

EDIT: I can only imagine people buying DLC for provided games....but how many are doing that anyway?

Lol, if that were the case the service would've shut down long time ago. Since the service keeps growing it would mean they would lose more money the more people subscribed. That is clearly not the case.

PS Plus is quickly becoming one of the best things about the Playstation brand
