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.

 


Sony = accounts PSP, PS3, Playstation forums (!!!)

MS = unique Users

Your joking right? Did you even read the posts you're replying to? Even if we assume that there are ppl with 10 PSN accounts while EVERY single account on XBL is unique, there is no way to prove how many unique users there are on PSN vs. Live. The only thing we can go by is official numbers, and those numbers clearly state that there are more PSN accounts than Live.

I'll say three things.

 

First, Sony usually says "we have blahblah PSN accounts", MS says "we have blahblah ACTIVE XBL users". You do the math.

Second, if Sony really had that many active users as they claim, they would be in a whole lot of trouble because of bandwidth costs. They can spout those numbers, but in reality, they wouldn't really like it.

Third and last, the number of users does not equal quality now does it? So.. Why are we arguing over this again?

I'll answer your third point first: I have no idea, but the person(s) I quoted felt neccessary to bring it into this convo. He also made a point of making PSN seem like shit because it has "less users" even though it's free. This is something that he completely made up. No fact, no figure, no nothing. So I felt the need to point out that that is absolute BS...because we have absolutley NO WAY of knowing which one actually has more people on it. The numbers we

Now onto point number 1 and 2: you are right. Sony and MS are giving us completely DIFFERENT figures here. MS gives us "blah blah blah ACTIVE" XBL users...whil sony gives us "blah blah blah PSN accounts". This means that nobody on these forums can claim to know the real truth...we are getting two completely different figures from two different companies...and as you mention, they are not the same figures.
