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?

 

 

80% of PS3s. Yes PSN counts PSP numbers, but the link referred to PS3 and PS3 only. In my originaly statement, I even said "excluding PSP numbers"

You do realize that the article you posted is 2 years old......80% of ps3's 2 years ago isnt really anything to brag about expecially considering that it is free and that there are multiple accounts.
