Also, little blurb about the amount of content being downloaded on PSN vs. XBL: Xbox Live: 500,000,000 Pieces of Content Downloaded http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/388225_msftxbox18.html Playstation Network: 273,000,000 Pieces of Content Downloaded http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2008/11/psn_boasts_14_million_active_users-2.html |
Not to mention, with PSN being free, many users make multiple accounts per PS3/PSP just to take advantage of games like Call of Duty. Still, some people will pay for multiple Gold accounts to do the same thing, but when it's free to make as many as you want, many people do that. Considering about anyone with a PS3 and internet will sign up for a PSN account, how many actually actively use it? Sony doesn't say how they judge an "active" user, and neither does Microsoft.
