No... but of course.  Sony neer used the term active.

Sort of the whole point.  You just made something up and pretended they said active.

Every time Sony has given a number for users of home it's been total users all time.  This was true at 14, it was true at 19.  It's true now. (Poll isn't doing any favors either.)

Just like how people look at shipped numbers and claim it's sold.

but why would sony inflate number's for a service that as many people keep saying that

"no one care's about" ?

why would Sony count in  those number's if that person is not using the service in a month at all, but not skipping a month here or there but never using the service for year's .

why even list that number? to inflate the service usage number's for a service " no one care's about?"

it seem's when the number's are pointed out people are sure careing about them now!

A) Who said NOBODY cared about Home.  I'm sure Home has a quite dedicated, quite big group of core active users that Sony makes plenty of money off of.    It just isn't bigger then the number of people who played some of the biggest blockbuster games ever by a magnitude of 3. 

Perspective time... League of Legends is listed as the most played game ever.  With a total of 32 million montly players. 

If Home was at League of Legends level success as a game they'd be making a much bigger deal of it.  As if it had 31 million monthly players it would be the second most successful game of all time.  (second life is a game afterall)

If they were pulling those numbers they'd make a big deal about it.  You wouldn't have to figure it out by looking at a press release.

B) Have you never heard of PR before?  You use the big number because its a big number.   It's to get people who don't use home and who like Dr. Who to use home.

Why do console companies always pretend their shipped numbers are sold to consumer?
