| oniyide said: @selnor you have proof that Live has more active members than PSN as a whole?? Cause if you dont you are just making stuff up. WHich im sure you are in this regard anyway. ANd your comparisons still make no sense because that only applies to ONE region. And last i checked PS was more popular in the European areas anyway. Im not saying those arent a factor, but to say that HALF the 360 user base not having access to Netflix(or any other service for that matter) doesnt play the biggest role in Netflix having higher usage on PS3 is just lying to yourself |
Actually its not 1 region. Its Europe as a whole. Sony treat EU terrible for services etc.
I think you dont understand. I have not said half the userbase has access to Netflix.
I said the following.
10 people have PS3, 10 people have 360.
The PS3 people have the option of Netflix. Thats it. They will choose ummmmm Netflix.
Whereas the 360 people have the choice of Netflix or BlinkBox or Now TV or Sky or Lovefilm or Hulu Plus or Crackle.
So whereas 100% use Netflix on PS3 due to the only option. maybe only 20% will use it on 360 due to other options.
This isnt difficult to understand people.
In EU Sony offers absolute crap in comparison to 360 in terms of multimedia services via the digital space.
As for the userbase info you already know we cant officially look at those numbers side by side thanks to Sony hiding the figures we need.
Every year Microsoft release the number of Active users on Live in the last 12 months. Any accounts not logged on in the last 12 months are not included and nor are Silver members.
Sony however release All time accounts every year. Hell they include my account. And its been around for 4 years, but dormant for 3 of those years. Until Sony man up and actually show us active users we will never know for sure.
The best we can do is take the top 10 games on PSN played and top 10 on Live played each month and look at ow active the players are. How many Digital Downloads each month are made on each respective format.
Looking at these show Xbox Live has never been beaten by PSN in either field and Live is along way in front with these numbers.
I believe looking at the numbers ourselves and the fact Sony refuses to give us official numbers for over 4 years since Microsoft called them out on their numbers at E3 show Sony doesnt have a strong active userbase.
Go do some research yourself. Bare in mind it takes alot of work. We used to do it here, but stuff doing it again. Sony just release the damn numbers everyone wants.
