I didn't agree with the moderation locking this thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=157772 just because anybody knows if the 31 million users are active or not... os the mod team can only ask to change the thread title ano not lock it.

I asked to mod the reasonto lock the thread and he said it is because 31 million active users are unbelievable.

Now I'm curious to know what that number means... so for that I will make a little game, a pool with two options:

1) I have a PSN Account and I'm a active PS Home user
2) I have a PSN Account and I'm not a active PS Home user

Active = Played the PS Home in the last months

* Please, just pick a choice if you really have a PSN Account * 

what is an Active user for network services for Sony?

 

I mean the rule of thumb:

Active User

Definition — There is no one set definition but there is a general consensus — An active user is a registered user who uses your application at least once in a 30 day period.

Usage — The more frequent an active user uses your product, the more engaging your website or application.

Derivatives — Return rate is a derivative of your active user calculation. If an active user comes back on average every 10 days, then that is also your average return rate. Facebook has one of the highest active user pools in the world.

Derivatives – Churn Rate is defined as how quickly do active users stop being active. Churn is usually measured in terms of cohorts and averages.

Confusion — This number is worthless if the time period (daily, monthly, yearly, etc.) is not specified.

So does Sony count someone who downloads the playstation Home client in 2008 and does not use it at all for year's on end an active user of Home in their number's?

I would Wager no, if your not an active user of home since 2008 why would they count you as a "User of Home" if your not bringing in Money for their service?
