PSN is bigger then XBL now. No matter how many alt accounts you count. Because each of those accounts can do online gaming. Meanwhile let's pretend there are no alt accounts for XBL even though people make alt accounts for a free month of Gold all the time. You think people are making alt PSN accounts so they can get free PSN?

Yes.  For the same reason people make Alt accounts on XBL.  To take advantage of games by giving you a new character but the skills of someone at a much higher level.

And I don't think you understand what I said.  Microsoft has 20 million XBL "active" accounts within the last 30 days.  People just using the 1 month free would obviously expire after 30 days and not be counted.  If Microsoft released figures the same way Sony did, it would truly show how XBL always was and always will be far larger (counting both Gold and Silver).

Why count silver though they can't play games online (unless you wanna grasp at straws with a last gen MMO). EVERY PSN account can do online gaming for free. Basicly that means there are 3 times as many online gaming accounts on PSN as there are for XBL, period.
