Prolly because noone plays on PSN while Live is hugely popular. You want 5 million beta testers or 500k.

 

 

You do know the PSN has more members thant XBL right?

 

This..

Although watch yourself, this is hostile territory. Truth or not, we may very well both be limping out of here..

There's a difference between the users who connect online, and the users that actively partake in online multiplayer.

 

Since XBL gold members (who have access to the beta) are indeed active users of the online capabilities of the 360, they will get more comprehensive data then the 12 million PSN users of whom there is a not yet publicly known amount who don't play online multiplayer regularly.

Safe bet of X amount of users OR gamble on the fact that the PR number Sony spewed represents a large number of players who potentially use the service (which doesn't include a disclaimer about level of user activity for the cutoff and the number of accounts per person).

 

Plus, I thought the question in this thread had been answered by Sony not giving 3rd party devs beta tools.

Which if you want to read it a certain way, can mean that Sony still doesn't take online seriously and is shooting itself in the foot again <--- See, this is yet another example of having an inch and running a mile with it, as many have done in this thread already.
