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.

I do realize it's old, hence why I said "they're a little old, but do you think that the percentages changed that much?"

And, with a rapidly growing install base, since 2008, and PSN being a FREE service, do you think the PSN user count would just stagnate? NO! I would say the percentage of PSN users (with regard to the PS3) stayed roughly the same, if not BETTER, because more and better games have come out since. 

You can make fun of the percentage as nothing to brag about....but heruamon said that more people were using XBL than PSN, and in the grand scheme of things, that's just untrue. And only in reference to the PS3, it's still untrue. Numbers don't lie, subscription fee or not. Keep on grasping at straws....
