Let's see...XBL is $50 a year, and MORE people are using it then the FREE PSN...lol...seems like they are NOT equal.

No.

Excluding PSP numbers......still no

^This right here

As the PSN numbers also count accounts made online and used on PS forums and also since everyone has a psn account for everyday of the year....it easily has more people using it.

 

I realize your sarcasm...but alas, you're still wrong. I'll have to find the quote, but I've seen it from both Microsoft and Sony's camp. Guys from Sony have said that 75-80% of PS3s are connected to PSN (which is easy because it's free), and guys from Microsoft said that 50-60% of 360s are connected to XBL. Do the math.

Edit: Found the most recent articles, they're a little old....but do you think the percentages changed that much?

PSN includes the PSP yes?

 

 

Who care if it includes PSP, its still PSN which heruamon said was smaller than xbox live,which is wrong. If he said 360 owners have more online player than the ps3 then maybe his point would stand.

2 platforms vs 1.

Might as well include Silver or

PS3 numbers vs XBL Gold numbers would be a fair comparison.
