So, for PSN to only need a few million subscribers, it sounds as if the whole thing is very close to being profitable.  Out of the 36 PS3's sold, we only need 3 million to reasonably expect the PSN to make a profit?  That's only 10% and is achievable imho, and even if the PSN doesn't hit that mark anytime soon, it will still go a long way towards making what was once a sinkhole for money into something that is only slightly unprofitable.  So, all said kudos for Sony

it probably already has a million subscribers.. there are over 40 million PSN accounts

whoah, so you are saying that PSN plus already has a million subscribers? 

 

Edit:  That was pachter's prediction for this year, that the service would have 1 millino by the end of the year, if so that's a great start.

it could be close..

I mean it's becoming a more attractive subscription service with the more free stuff they release every week in the U.S, and by tuesday it may have a couple of more users once europe's updates
