Once again... that's 100% unrealistic.

31 million montly users would make it nearly = to league of legends, a game that has no peer when it comes to montly users.

It would also make Home more popular then internet sites like Etsy and Deviant Art.

 

31 million users in a month would be such a success it'd have it's own press release.  Multiple actually.

You wouldn't have to look at a press release about something being added to find the number.   Rather then being treated like it doesn't really exist by Sony PR at GDC, E3, PAX and everything else.

 

If it had 10 million monthly users it would be amazingly impressive.

like i stated as an example:

How so: is this being unrealistic in a social network environment ? its not the same as a game network environment. this is a mixture of the two

This again may not be a 1:1 basis, You keep looking at it like a game and not like a social network,
example: I have a PS3 my two sister's each has a PS3 but she and my other sister also has 3 kid's each. Each one of those kid's also has a playstation Home account. and i talk and chat with them all almost every day and play some bowling. in playstation Home between me my wife and my 2 other sister's my wife and 3 kids that's 3 PS3's but 11 active user's! 

me+ wife = 2 
my oldest sister and her husband + three kid's= 5
my youngest sister and her three children= 4

that's 11 people on 3 PS3's

now think world wide!

Saying 31 million people use the Playstation Home service in a number of Households across the world would not be far fetched, since it may not even be talking about a 1:1 user base per single PS3. when companies sell a " living room " Game console they mainly look at its for the House Hold. How many in that house hold are just as important as just a single person in the household if multiple people can use, play or purchase content on that single PS3! in this case or any living room game console for that matter.


Yes.  It's more unrealistic.  In a game network enviroment it's much harder to get users let alone multiple users from one console .   Since it's a hell of a lot easier to logout of one website and keep everything then it is a PSN account.

Saying 31 million people use playstation home a month is completely unrealistic as far as social networks go... let alone on the PS3.

Hell... League of Legends facebook page has more likes then Playstation's facebook page... does.  Let alone Home.

It's sad that anybody thinks this.  Espiecally since the few times Sony has ever announced Home users it's been "total users" and not "total active users".

 

I mean... 40 Million people signed up for an Xbox live account... at the start of 2012.   Not gold mind you... just an Xbox live account in general.
